Gustavo Gómez shows off black eye after Palmeiras progress: "All good" | OneFootball

On the morning of this Thursday, defender Gustavo Gómez shared, via social media, a photo of how his right eye looked after the match between Palmeiras and River Plate, in the quarter-finals of the Copa Libertadores, at Allianz Parque.

Gómez had to be substituted 16 minutes into the second half. The Paraguayan collapsed on the field after a blow to the face and left the pitch with his right eye visibly impaired. Bruno Fuchs took his place.

After the game, the Palmeiras captain was taken to a hospital, but no injury was detected. Along with the photo of the black eye, posted this Thursday on Instagram, the player wrote: “All good.”

Thus, Gustavo Gómez becomes a doubt for the match against Bahia this Sunday and will be re-evaluated over the days. In case of absence, Bruno Fuchs might get a chance among the starters.

Palmeiras defeated River Plate 3-1, with goals from Vitor Roque and Flaco López (two), securing a spot in the Copa Libertadores semi-finals with an aggregate score of 5-2.
