Grêmio's match against Vitória on Sunday might feature a revised starting lineup. The team's physical condition and travel difficulties significantly influence the coach's decision. The players' lack of sufficient rest due to a demanding schedule is a major concern.
The team's return from Mendoza was delayed by fog, pushing back their arrival in Porto Alegre. This resulted in the cancellation of a training session, leaving coach Mano Menezes with only one session to prepare the team for the game.
Wagner Leonardo and Marlon, back from injury and ineligibility respectively, are expected to return to the starting lineup, bolstering Grêmio's defense.
The probable starting lineup includes Tiago Volpi, João Pedro, Jemerson, Wagner Leonardo, Marlon, Dodi, Villasanti, Edenilson, Monsalve (Cristaldo), Cristian Olivera, and Braithwaite. However, this is still subject to change before the match.
