O Ceará recebe o Goiás na terça-feira (27), pela 35ª rodada da Série B, e a lista de relacionados para o duelo deve mudar em relação ao último compromisso. A partida será na Arena Castelão, às 20h.
A apuração indica que o lateral-esquerdo Sávio está à disposição e viaja com o grupo. Rafael Ramos, lateral-direito, voltou aos treinamentos e também surge como possibilidade de retorno.
Júlio César, por sua vez, segue em trabalho de força e ainda é dúvida. Luizão atuou no último jogo com tendinite no joelho esquerdo e não retorna: o zagueiro continua entregue ao departamento médico e fica fora da lista de relacionados.
Pedro Gilmar e Thalisson permanecem fora. Os dois se recuperam de cirurgias para reconstrução do ligamento cruzado anterior (LCA).
A notícia positiva vem de Luiz Otávio. O zagueiro cumpriu suspensão automática na 34ª rodada, contra o Juventude, e deve reassumir a titularidade.
Na luta contra o rebaixamento, o Vovô soma 43 pontos em 34 partidas e precisa de mais três para chegar aos 46, marca considerada segura para permanecer na segunda divisão.
