Esporte Clube Bahia continues to manage several player injuries as the squad prepares for upcoming Campeonato Brasileiro fixtures. Key medical concerns include midfielder Everton Ribeiro, who is showing progress in his recovery from chronic lower back pain by participating in specialized physical and technical activities, though he remains without a definitive return date and is unlikely to play against Chapecoense. Other players in recovery include Luciano Juba (ankle), Léo Vieira (patellar tendon), and Erick (foot infection).

Forward Ademir remains sidelined due to a left adductor muscle strain and is ruled out for the match against Chapecoense. His availability is further complicated by a suspension following a third yellow card received in a match against Vasco, with a potential return expected in early September.

In positive developments, midfielder Caio Alexandre has returned to action, appearing as a substitute in a recent draw against Vasco. Alexandre has indicated a commitment to intensive training to regain his regular spot in manager Rogério Ceni’s lineup. To further bolster the squad, young attackers Ruan Pablo and Kauê Furquim are expected to return following their activities with Brazilian youth national teams, while Erick Pulga is also anticipated to return following a suspension.
