Ramón Sosa, injured, and Andreas Pereira, suspended, will miss Verdão’s match in Paraguay; Khellven is expected to be included

Verdão confirmed that Ramón Sosa suffered an injury to the hamstring in his left thigh. The forward came on at halftime in the match against Fluminense last Saturday (15), but had to be substituted in the 33rd minute of the second half. As a result, the Paraguayan will miss this Wednesday’s (19) decisive match in his home country.

Right-back Khellven, recovered from a right thigh injury, trained fully with the rest of the squad and is available for the clash. Forward Paulinho, meanwhile, is still recovering and carried out separate activities under the guidance of the Health and Performance Department.

Finally, midfielder Andreas Pereira was sent off in the first leg and will serve an automatic suspension.
