No suspensions as Palmeiras set to face São Paulo with full squad | OneFootball

Palmeiras took the field against Vasco with caution as they had six players at risk of suspension, who, if they received a third warning, would miss the classic against São Paulo. However, none of them received a yellow card during the 3-0 victory at Allianz Parque, and Abel Ferreira should not have new problems assembling his team.

Palmeiras has no suspensions for the match against São Paulo

At risk of missing the Choque-Rei were goalkeeper Weverton, defender Gustavo Gómez, full-back Piquerez, midfielder Emiliano Martínez, and forwards Vitor Roque and Facundo Torres. Of them, only Emiliano did not have minutes on the field.

In addition to them, midfielder Lucas Evangelista is also on the list of those at risk. However, the number 30 suffered a tendon injury in his right thigh and will need surgery. Thus, he will be out for the rest of the season. In the technical staff, assistant Vitor Castanheira is also one of those with two yellow cards.

The match against Vasco resulted in only one card for Aníbal Moreno, who was not at risk of suspension.

Confirmed absences and possible return

Besides Evangelista, Palmeiras has another absence for the Choque-Rei: Paulinho, who is recovering from leg surgery done in July and remains out.

On the other hand, the team might see the return of right-back Khellven, who is recovering from a foot injury. He missed the matches against Bahia and Vasco but might recover by Sunday and be available for Abel Ferreira. If he remains absent, Giay will continue as the starter.

Situation in the Brazilian Championship

With the victory over Vasco, Palmeiras took the second place, with 52 points. Alviverde stays in second position as Cruzeiro, which has 50 points, still plays this Thursday against the leader Flamengo at Maracanã. Verdão hopes their rivals slip up to maintain second place and close the gap to the top.
