Palmeiras will have an important absence in the first game of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil against Flamengo, which takes place tomorrow. Defender Murilo will not be available for the match, as his son is about to be born, and he will remain in São Paulo to attend the birth.
With the absence of Murilo, the defensive duo of Palmeiras will be formed by Vitor Reis and Gustavo Gómez. Murilo's decision to stay with his family at this special moment was understood by the club, which has already prepared for the replacement in the defensive sector. Murilo's importance to Palmeiras' defense is well-known, but the team trusts in the ability of Vitor Reis and Gustavo Gómez to maintain defensive solidity against one of the main opponents in Brazilian football.
CAST UPDATE
Coach Abel Ferreira will have the challenge of adjusting the team to minimize the impact of the absence of one of his main defenders. Palmeiras is coming off a series of good performances this season, and expectations for the clash with Flamengo are high. The team is looking for a positive result in the first game to guarantee an advantage in the second leg, which will be played at Maracanã.
O Flamengo, in turn, is aware of the difficulties of facing Palmeiras even with Murilo's absence. The Rio team also has its ambitions in the Copa do Brasil and promises a well-fought game. The expectation is for a balanced duel, with both teams seeking victory.
The teams play the first game of the quarterfinals at 7 p.m.

In the search “Pulso do Torcedor ” carried out by Atlas Intel, coach Tite, from Flamengo, as the second best coach among the clubs in Series A of the Brazilian Championship. Only Abel Ferreira, from Palmeiras, was ahead of the red and black team in the survey carried out by the analysis institute.
The responses pointed to the current two-time Brazilian champion Abel Ferreira as the favorite by 27.9%. Tite, from Flamengo, came in second place, cited by 18.6% of those interviewed. The top 3 still has Juan Pablo Vojvoda, who has been at Fortaleza for three years and in second place in the Brasileirão, with 9.1%. Completing the top-5 are Botafogo coach Artur Jorge, mentioned by 8.1%, and Fernando Seabra, from Cruzeiro, with 7.2%.
Tite was mentioned by 47.5% of fans of Flamengo as the best coach in Brazil - a much lower percentage than the Cruzeirenses' preference for Fernando Seabra (72.6% of Raposa fans voted for him) or Grêmio idol Renato Gaúcho, who was chosen by more than half of the fans from Grêmio (51.1%). The coach with the greatest approval from fans is Argentine Vojvoda, from Fortaleza, chosen by 96.3% of Leão do Pici fans.
The Atlas survey collects information organically during routine internet browsing - on smartphones, tablets, laptops or computers. According to the research institute, this method has two advantages: it addresses several sources of bias and deals with the possible over- or under-representation of demographic groups.
