Paysandu also arrives at the decision with problems in the lineup. That’s because of the 38 players in the squad, 14 arrived at the club after the registration period for the Copa Verde ended. With that, coach Marquinhos Santos will have to list several base athletes to complete the bench. Of the starters in the defeat to Volta Redonda, four (backs Edilson and Igor Fernandes, defender Rodolfo Filemon and midfielder Nenê Bonilha) are among the sure absences.
