According to Globo Esporte Futebol, Palmeiras has begun preparations for the match, despite having at least four players ruled out due to injury. Paulinho, Ramón Sosa, and Jefté are still undergoing treatment and will not feature in the game. Andreas Pereira is also out, having received a two-match suspension from the Conmebol for his red card against Cerro Porteño in the previous round.
Palmeiras' coach Abel Ferreira is expected to announce his team for the match on Tuesday. A possible lineup for the game includes Carlos Miguel, Giay, Murilo, Gustavo Gómez, and Piquerez, with Lucas Evangelista likely to feature in midfield. The second leg of the quarterfinals will take place on 16th of the month in Quito.
