Grêmio Announces Lineup for Clash Against Fluminense Featuring Defensive Return and Offensive Absences
The Grêmio football team is preparing for an important match against Fluminense on December 2, 2023. The game is set to kick off at 21:30 in the Arena, marking a significant moment in their season.
Defensive Reinforcements and Offensive Absences
The team sees the return of defender Gustavo Martins, who is available after serving a suspension during the previous match against Palmeiras. His comeback strengthens the defense as he competes for a starting position against Wagner Leonardo. If Martins starts, Kannemann will shift to the left side of the defense.
Unfortunately, Grêmio will be missing key players Amuzu and Carlos Vinícius due to suspensions. Their absence could significantly impact the team’s dynamics. Willian and André Henrique are the likely candidates to fill these gaps, playing respectively as left winger and center forward. André Henrique recently returned from injury, having recovered from a fractured toe.
Formation and Player Availability
Grêmio aims for victory, as this match will also serve as the team’s farewell to the Arena for the current season. A win is crucial for their ambitions of securing a spot in the preliminary stage of the Libertadores.
The potential starting lineup includes:
- Goalkeeper: Tiago Volpi
- Defenders: Marcos Rocha, Kannemann, Wagner Leonardo (Gustavo Martins), Marlon
- Midfielders: Dodi, Arthur
- Forwards: Alysson (Pagón), Edenilson, Willian, André Henrique
Additionally, the squad includes other players such as:
- Goalkeepers: Gabriel Grando
- Defenders: Jemerson, Viery
- Full-backs: João Lucas, Lucas Esteves
- Midfielders: Cuéllar, Camilo, Cristaldo
- Attackers: Pavon, Aravena, Jardiel
With the lineup taking shape, Coach Mano Menezes is focused on optimizing strategies to outperform Fluminense. The absence of two important attackers poses a challenge, but the team remains determined to finish the season on a high note.
