Abel Benches Players After Overnight Travel Discover the Lineups
Palmeiras and Vitória are set to clash this Wednesday, October 19, in the 34th round of the Brazilian Championship. The match will take place at Allianz Parque. Despite the challenges posed by overnight travel, Palmeiras’ coach Abel Ferreira made strategic decisions regarding player lineups.
Overnight Travel and Player Selection
After recent travels, Abel Ferreira decided against including any of the players who were called up during the last international break. Palmeiras had seven players selected for international duty: Gustavo Gómez, Ramon Sosa, Emiliano Martínez, Piquerez, Facundo Torres, and Vitor Roque. All of these players represented their national teams, which affected their availability for the game against Vitória.
Lineups for the Match
Both teams have confirmed their lineups, with Palmeiras and Vitória ready to compete fiercely.
- Palmeiras: Carlos Miguel, Khellven, Bruno Fuchs, Murilo, Jefté; Aníbal Moreno, Andreas Pereira, Veiga, Mauricio; Allan, Flaco López.
- Coach: Abel Ferreira.
- Vitória: Thiago Couto; Raúl Cáceres, Edu, Lucas Halter, Camutanga, Ramon; Baralhas, Willian Oliveira; Aitor, Erick, Renzo López.
- Coach: Jair Ventura.
Impact of Player Availability
Palmeiras aimed to have their international players ready, but none were able to start due to lack of conditioning. This situation puts additional pressure on the remaining squad members to perform effectively against a Vitória team that boasts crucial reinforcements.
As the match approaches, both teams will strategize to maximize their strengths and exploit weaknesses. Supporters from both sides are eagerly anticipating the outcome of this important fixture in the Brazilian Championship.
