Vitória away tomorrow, Arrascaeta still out

Copa do Brasil takes us to Vitória tomorrow night, 21:30 BRT. We arrive sitting second in the Brasileirão with 30 points from 14 games, four behind Palmeiras but with a game in hand and the league's best goal difference at +15. Arrascaeta is the headline absence: Lance reports the club doctor sees "great expectation" around his recovery from the fractured right clavicle sustained against Estudiantes on April 29, though no return date has been floated. Athletico away comes next on Sunday. Heads down, eyes up.
