If he doesn’t play, the natural substitute in midfield is Tchê Tchê, midfielder who even started as a starter in Galo’s victory over Grêmio, on the fourth. At the time, Jair was spared physical wear and tear. He took the field just at the beginning of the second stage.

If Jair is in doubt, Atlético’s surest embezzlement for the game is Nacho Fernández. The midfielder received the third yellow card against Grêmio and is automatically suspended. Vargas and Savarino compete for position, with Zaracho being moved to a more central position in the field.

On the other hand, there is a return in defense. Nathan Silva was suspended last Wednesday and should return to the team in Revers spot, to partner Junior Alonso. Another return should be Mariano, who can recover Guga’s position on the right flank.
