Grêmio faces Chapecoense with squad absences in Brasileirão
Grêmio faces Chapecoense this Sunday at the Arena do Grêmio in Porto Alegre for the 25th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. The match features two teams under pressure: Grêmio sits in 15th place with 25 points, while Chapecoense is in last place with 14 points.
Grêmio will be missing key players for the matchup. Midfielder Noriega is suspended following a third yellow card, and Gabriel Mec has been ruled out due to pubic pain reported during Saturday's training. Coach Luís Castro is evaluating options for the midfield, with Danilo Barbosa, Bernardo Zortéa, and Villasanti among the potential candidates to fill the gaps.
The result is critical for both sides as Grêmio seeks to distance itself from the relegation zone ahead of a decisive Copa do Brasil match against Internacional.
