Bruno Rodrigues faces former club, aims to make his mark at Palmeiras | OneFootball

The forward Bruno Rodrigues continues to seek his place at Palmeiras. After a long period away from the field due to a serious injury, the player may reunite with the former club where he stood out — precisely the one that launched him into national football and opened the doors for his arrival at Verdão.

Palmeiras faces Cruzeiro this Sunday (26th), at 8:30 PM (Brasília time), at Allianz Parque, in an important match for the Brasileirão.

Strong attack, contested spot

Palmeiras has two standout names in the offensive sector: Vitor Roque and Flaco. Vitor Roque is in a scoring phase, while Flaco is also in great form. This leaves Bruno Rodrigues in a reserve role — but with high motivation to change this situation.

Return after injuries

Bruno Rodrigues suffered two serious knee injuries — first on the right in early 2024, then on the left in May of the same year. He was practically off the field for over 600 days until he resumed participation in training and games.

Goal marking a new beginning

On October 11, 2025, Bruno Rodrigues scored his first goal wearing the Palmeiras jersey, in a 4-1 win against Juventude. It ended a 689-day drought without scoring — and was the result of much perseverance. This goal gives him a renewed "credibility card": now it's time to prove he can be a reliable option for the team.
