- Ferraresi, Rafael Tolói and Alan Franco;
- Maik, Pablo Maia, Bobadilla, Marcos Antônio (or Luiz Gustavo) and Patryck;
- Rigoni and Tapia.
Ferreira traveled with the delegation, but is still doubtful due to swelling in his left thigh.
Decisive returns and embezzlements
Fluminense recovers three starters who did not face Palmeiras in the previous round. The return of Thiago Silva reinforces the defense, while Renê restores the left side and Lucho Acosta increases creativity in midfield.
In São Paulo, the long medical department limits Crespo’s options. With 14 players handed over to DM or suspended during the season, the coach needs to improvise in defense and attack.
