Dutchman Memphis Depay, who was treating a sprain in his right ankle, is out of the game.
As well as Matheuzinho, who, due to edema in his right thigh, won't even be on the bench today.
In the middle, Breno Bidon and Igor Coronado both appear as starters, contrary to what the previews indicated.
Thus, Paraguayan Romero is an option on the bench, as well as Raniele.
And André Ramalho is lined up among the eleven starters.
Lineup: Hugo Souza; André Ramalho, Félix Torres, Cacá, and Fabrizio Angileri; Breno Bidon, André Carrillo, Maycon, and José Martinez; Igor Coronado and Yuri Alberto.
Santos
Peixe still cannot count on Neymar for today, just like in the Paulistão semifinal, when the star was also injured.
Neymar is expected to return next Wednesday, in a game for the Brazil Cup, against CRB.

Besides the star, the lateral Aderlan and midfielder Diego Pituca are last-minute confirmed absences.
The first due to a intestinal infection and the second due to tendinitis in the Achilles tendon of his left leg.
To replace Aderlan, the chosen one was Leo Godoy; while Zé Rafael appears in the midfield with Rincón and Barreal.
Lineup: Gabriel Brazão; Leo Godoy, Zé Ivaldo, Luan Peres, and Escobar; Tomás Rincón, Zé Rafael, and Rollheiser; Barreal, Soteldo, and Tiquinho Soares.

Mets call up prized infield prospect Ronny Mauricio after Mark Vientos injury
Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — Prized infield prospect Ronny Mauricio was called up from the minors by the New York Mets on Tuesday and put in the starting lineup at third base against the Los Angeles Dodgers. His promotion came after third baseman Mark Vientos strained his right hamstring late in Monday night's victory over the Dodgers. He went on the injured list Tuesday. Mauricio was slated to bat seventh. 'I'm feeling great,' he said in the Mets clubhouse before the game. 'I'm the same person I was before my surgeries.' Rated for years among the top 100 prospects in baseball and a jewel in the organization, Mauricio made his major league debut in September 2023 and batted .248 with two home runs, nine RBIs and seven stolen bases in 26 games that year. But months later, the switch-hitter tore a knee ligament playing winter ball in the Dominican Republic and missed the 2024 season while recovering from multiple operations. 'None of us wanted to rush that process," Mauricio said. 'There were some setbacks in my recovery. We just wanted to take it slower to make sure everything was right.' Mauricio said the year away was frustrating, but helped him in many ways. 'I was able to focus more on my body, my ability as a person. I was able to improve on my English as well," he said, explaining that he took online language classes. Finally healthy again, the 24-year-old Mauricio has played at three minor league levels this season as he finished rehabbing and began gaining regular game reps. He was reinstated from the injured list May 17 and optioned to Triple-A Syracuse. 'I think I'm the same hitter,' he said. 'The biggest difference is I now have more knowledge of the game.' Mauricio has been on a tear at the plate recently, hitting .515 with three homers, eight RBIs, four steals and a 1.382 OPS in 39 plate appearances over nine games at Syracuse. Vientos stumbled out of the batter's box on a 10th-inning groundout Monday night and fell to the turf. When he got up, he grabbed for his right hamstring. A natural shortstop, Mauricio has played several other positions in the minors and majors. He started 21 big league games at second base in 2023, and five at third. In other moves Tuesday, right-hander Frankie Montas was transferred to Triple-A Syracuse on a rehab assignment. Left-hander Brandon Waddell was recalled from Syracuse, while right-hander Max Kranick was optioned to Triple-A. ___ AP MLB: recommended

🔥 Mexico and Uruguay share the spoils in friendly clash
Mexico draws 2-2 against Uruguay in the triumphant return of Charlyn Corral with the National Team during the friendly match window. The tricolor team dominated the Uruguayans during the first half and part of the second, as with a goal from Myra Delgadillo, her first with the national team, they took the lead on the scoreboard. And yes! The second half came with a great surprise, as Corral, with a change of pace, teamed up with Jamine Casarez to extend the lead. Advertisement However, Mexico could not secure their first victory as Uruguay recovered and managed to end the match with a draw at the Estadio Olímpico BUAP.

Report: Liverpool clear-out begins ahead of Slot's first full pre-season
Slot's arrival triggers changing of the guard Liverpool's squad is already feeling the weight of change as Arne Slot wastes no time in streamlining his options ahead of pre-season. As highlighted in a recent report by Empire Of The Kop, three long-serving squad members – Tyler Morton, Nat Phillips, and Rhys Williams – are set to leave Anfield in search of pastures new. Advertisement None of the trio featured in Liverpool's 2024/25 Premier League title-winning campaign. While sentiment might have previously bought these players time, Slot appears keen to construct a new dynamic, focused on active contributors and fresh tactical identities. Pearce reported that the three are 'expected to leave in search of a fresh challenge,' a telling sign that the club is being decisive rather than sentimental. Their departures reflect a clear break from the past and the beginning of a new chapter under the Dutchman. Photo: IMAGO Fringe players prepare for life after Liverpool Tyler Morton has struggled to establish himself as a first-team regular. Though tipped for a breakthrough after a promising loan at Blackburn Rovers in 2022–23, last season he remained largely on the fringes. As Pearce states, Morton 'failed to make much of an impact with the very limited opportunities that came his way.' With younger midfielders now ahead of him in the pecking order and a tactical reshuffle underway, a move seems like the logical next step for his development. Advertisement Meanwhile, centre-backs Nat Phillips and Rhys Williams have seen their careers stall despite once playing pivotal roles during Liverpool's injury-plagued 2020–21 season. Both have spent time on loan in the Championship and lower-end Bundesliga sides, but without doing enough to force their way back into the plans at Anfield. As Pearce put it, 'both players struggled to make a consistent impact,' and that inconsistency has ultimately sealed their fate. Kelleher and Tsimikas exits underline evolution It's not just the fringe defenders and midfielders heading for the exit. Caoimhin Kelleher, once seen as a future Liverpool number one, has now sealed a permanent move to Brentford. As Pearce reported, 'Liverpool [were] happy to cash in on the Irish international even with the low fee that was offered.' This decision, while perhaps surprising on the surface, reflects Slot's willingness to offload valuable squad players to create room for higher-priority targets. Kostas Tsimikas is expected to follow. Despite being a reliable deputy for Andy Robertson since arriving in 2020, the Greek left-back has slipped down the order and is now considered surplus to requirements. Clubs in mainland Europe have reportedly expressed interest, and a transfer feels imminent. Photo: IMAGO Wirtz pursuit adds context to swift exits The overarching theme of these departures is a desire to reshape the squad and free up wages for top-level reinforcements. One name continues to dominate the conversation: Florian Wirtz. As Empire Of The Kop reports, a second Liverpool bid for the Bayer Leverkusen star has been rejected, but that hasn't dampened the club's pursuit. Advertisement Intriguingly, there are murmurs that 'Wirtz was supposedly the subject of a secret Liverpool medical in Cologne,' suggesting negotiations may be further along than initially believed. Whether or not that deal materialises, Slot's approach is clear – reduce, refine, and reload. The rapid nature of these decisions, so early in the summer window, speaks volumes about how the new manager intends to assert his authority. There is little room for nostalgia. The focus is firmly on ensuring the squad is both leaner and more tailored to his playing philosophy. Our View – Anfield Index Analysis From a supporter's perspective, it's refreshing to see such clarity and confidence in the early weeks of Arne Slot's tenure. While players like Nat Phillips and Rhys Williams will always have a place in Liverpool folklore for stepping up during a crisis, it's hard to argue that their time at the club has run its course. Morton's exit is perhaps the most disappointing, given his early promise, but even then, it feels like the right decision. Advertisement The Kelleher sale will sting for some, especially given his heroics in cup competitions, but his departure was inevitable if he was to realise his ambition of being a number one elsewhere. Tsimikas' exit feels similar – useful, dependable, but ultimately behind elite-level starters in the pecking order. Fans will now turn their attention to incomings, particularly the Wirtz saga. If these early exits are clearing the runway for a marquee signing, then the pain of these goodbyes will be more than worth it. Slot is clearly building something with purpose, and that bodes well for a seamless transition post-Klopp. What matters most now is turning this momentum into meaningful additions that can push the squad to new heights.
