Padrón and Linares are also injured.
The lineup has not been announced.
Atlético 🐓
Galo are in good form after two straight wins in the Brasileirão.
And the focus is on the league, at least for now.
Ruan, Renan Lodi, Alan Franco, Victor Hugo, and Hulk did not even travel.
Alan Minda is in the medical department.
Important opportunities for Cissé, Scarpa, and Dudu, for example.
