Léo Moura, Emerson, and Bruno, who were spared from the morning training session, participated normally in the training center. Midfielder Airton, who injured his right ankle that morning, remained at the Windsor Hotel for treatment. He is doubtful for Sunday's Taça Rio final against Botafogo.

With Airton's injury, young Welinton earned a chance to start again. Coach Cuca named his first-team squad: Bruno; Welinton, Fábio Luciano, and Ronaldo Angelim; Léo Moura, Wilians, Kleberson, Ibson, and Juan; Zé Roberto and Emerson.
