Hot Updates from Verdão: Injuries and Recoveries!

The week kicked off full of news in the Palmeiras world, especially for fans who are keeping an eye on the decisive match against LDU in the Copa Libertadores. Let’s take a look at the latest updates on the players!

Piquerez and the Doubt in the Starting Lineup

Recently, our left back Piquerez took a hard knock from center back Osório during the derby against São Paulo. He underwent medical tests and, thank God, a fracture in the left ankle was ruled out. The player is still receiving treatment at the Football Academy, but he remains a question mark for Wednesday’s match (16).

More Doubts: Maurício Is Also in Treatment

Another player hanging in the balance is Maurício. He didn’t play in the Choque-Rei due to right knee tendinitis. Just like Piquerez, his progress will be monitored up to game time. The good news? Both players traveled with the squad and have a chance to take part!

Ramón Sosa: The New Hope!

An encouraging update that came out of today’s training was Ramón Sosa’s presence—he has finally recovered from an injury to the left thigh’s posterior muscle, which he suffered last month. It seems he will be an additional option for Abel Ferreira!

Travel to Quito: What to Expect?

Palmeiras’ squad has a plan: to depart for Quito on the morning of this Monday (14). They will hold a physical activity at the Estadio Olímpico Atahualpa in the late afternoon. And, of course, we can’t forget we’re talking about considerable altitude: about 2.850 meters. Expectations are high!

So, supporter? Are you excited for the match? Let’s hope our warriors recover in time and put on a great performance!
