Felipe Anderson suffers ankle sprain, ruled out for Palmeiras | OneFootball

Palmeiras has suffered a new setback for the final stretch of the 2025 season. Attacking midfielder Felipe Anderson underwent tests this Monday as the team regrouped after finishing as runners-up in the Libertadores, and was diagnosed with a sprain in his left ankle suffered on Saturday in Lima (PER).

Felipe Anderson started the match against Flamengo on the bench. The number 7 was brought on in the 26th minute of the second half, when Verdão was already losing 1-0, replacing Raphael Veiga. However, he felt the problem in his ankle and had to be substituted in the 42nd minute, making way for Mauricio.

Thus, Felipe Anderson joins three other players in the Medical Department: goalkeeper Weverton (fracture in right hand), midfielder Lucas Evangelista (surgery on right thigh), and forward Paulinho (surgery on right leg).

This season, Felipe Anderson has struggled with other physical problems that forced him to miss games for Abel Ferreira’s team. In total, he played 51 matches, starting in 34 of them. Additionally, he scored four goals and provided three assists.
