Grêmio will NOT have coach Luís Castro in La Paz, Bolivia, the site of the match against Bolívar in the Copa Sudamericana playoffs.
His absence is due to health issues. Luis Castro has already undergone two procedures to treat episodes of pneumothorax.
Hernando Siles Stadium is located 3,400 meters above sea level. Because of that, assistant coach Vitor Severino will lead Tricolor in Bolivia.
Grêmio and Bolívar will face off for a spot to take on São Paulo in the round of 16.
The first leg will be at 7 p.m. on Thursday (23). The return leg will be the following Thursday (30), also at 7 p.m., at the Arena do Grêmio.
