The athletes infected by the new coronavirus are Luan, Gabriel Menino, Matías Viña, Alan Empereur, Danilo, Rony, Gabriel Silva, Gabriel Veron, Jailson, Vinicius Silvestre, Kuscevic, Gustavo Scarpa, Quiñonez, Pedro Acácio and Marino. In addition to them, there are three injured (Felipe Melo, Wesley and Luan Silva) and one absence due to regulation issues (Breno Lopes already defended Juventude in the tournament).

To alleviate the huge loss of players due to the decisive duel, in which Palmeiras has a 3-0 lead built in the first game, at Allianz Parque, the team had planned to look for two starters after the Date Fifa matches on Tuesday. .

With the club sponsor’s Crefisa plane, Palmeiras will take Weverton and Gustavo Gómez to Fortaleza hours after defending both Brazil and Paraguay for the South American Qualifiers.

Weverton will be Brazil’s reserve in Montevideo, where the five-time world champion faces Uruguay, and will undergo further Covid-19 testing later on Tuesday. Gomez should play Paraguay against Bolivia in Asunción.

With the reinforcements of goalkeeper and defender, Palmeiras can enter the field with the following formation: Weverton; Marcos Rocha, Emerson Santos, Renan (Gustavo Gómez) and Lucas Esteves; Patrick de Paula, Zé Rafael and Raphael Veiga; Lucas Lima, Luiz Adriano and Willian.

Lucas Esteves and Luiz Adriano are doubts for the decisive duel, but they have already worked normally with the ball in training on Monday and should play in Castelão.
