Avaí face Fortaleza with eight absentees

Avaí will be without seven injured players plus midfielder Daniel Penha (personal leave) for Wednesday's Série B clash at Fortaleza. Four defenders and three attacking players are out.

What it means

• Jefferson Maciel, Quaresma, Wallison, William (defenders) out with injuries
• Del Piage, Léo Gamalho, Juan Rocha (midfield/attack) out; Daniel Penha doubtful (wife's treatment)
• Avaí sit 17th with 29 points, needing points to escape the relegation zone

Model read

Avaí's defense is severely weakened with four regular defenders missing, and the attack also loses key options, making them notably weaker for this away match.

All signals for this team: Avaí
