Piquerez shares fitness update after injury in Palmeiras v Bahia | OneFootball

In Sunday’s match (28th), left-back Piquerez was substituted in the first half after an ugly incident on the poor pitch at Arena Fonte Nova, during Palmeiras’ defeat to Bahia in the Brasileirão.

Nothing serious

The player jammed his knee into the turf after attempting a sliding tackle to dispossess the opposing team’s attacker. According to NOSSO PALESTRA, it was just a knock, not as serious as it appeared in the images.

The player was replaced in the first half by Jefté, who had played only two matches for the Greatest Champion of Brazil since his arrival.

In addition to the Uruguayan, Lucas Evangelista also left the match injured, with pain in the back of his thigh. The club is expected to update the midfielder’s condition this Monday (29th).

Social media post

On his social media, the Uruguayan reassured Palmeiras fans by posting a photo of his knee with the caption: ‘Everything’s fine’.

Full-back drama?

One of the few things Palmeiras fans didn’t want was to lose their main left-back in yet another season run-in. The Uruguayan missed the 2024 season due to a knee injury, and Caio Paulista and Vanderlan alternated in the position until the end of the year. Today, both are no longer with Palmeiras.

In 2025, for the position, Palmeiras has Piquerez, Jefté, and the young Artur, who alternates between the U20 and the professional squad.

What now?

Palmeiras returns to the field next Wednesday (1st), at 7:00 PM (Brasília time) against Vasco, at Allianz Parque. The match is valid for the Brazilian Championship.
