PLAYERS WHO DID NOT TRAVEL

Brazilian news outlet Diario Catarinense tweeted a picture of three players who did not travel to Colombia, coming to terms with the deaths of their team-mates, in a near-empty changing room

Nine of the club's players did not travel with the rest of the squad on the chartered flight, according to local media.

They were Alejandro Martinuccio, Nenem, Demerson, Marcelo Boeck, Andrei, Hyoran, Nivaldo, Moises and Rafael Lima.

Goalkeeper Marcelo Boeck did not travel because it was his birthday.

The player's agent told Portuguese newspaper A Bola that he was celebrating his 32nd birthday at home.

Alejandro Martinuccio was meant to be in the travelling squad but stayed at home due to injury. He tweeted: "Please pray for my team-mates."

Veteran keeper Nivaldo was not selected so he could prepare for his 300th game with the club on Sunday against Atletico Mineiro in the last game of the Brazilian league season.

After the accident, the 42-year old said he would retire immediately, but now wants to play in the last game to honour his fallen team-mates.

"My team-mates would want us to play that match," he said. "I just don't know how I could stand a full stadium with people calling the name of the players that died. We will have to try, I think. But that is going to be hard."

Matheus Saroli, the son of Chapecoense's manager Luiz Carlos Saroli, was meant to have boarded the plane but lost his passport and had to stay in Brazil.
