Palmeiras was represented by seven of its players during the second round of FIFA international break matches: Gustavo Gómez, Mauricio and Ramón Sosa (Paraguay), Flaco López and Agustín Giay (Argentina), Emiliano Martínez (Uruguay), and Jhon Arias (Colombia). Piquerez, who had been called up by Uruguay, suffered an injury in the first match and returned to Verdão.

Jhon Arias

Jhon Arias returned after friendlies with the Colombian national team, took part in much of the movement, and could strengthen the squad for the game against Grêmio on Thursday at 9:30 p.m. at Arena Barueri.

The attacking midfielder was again in the starting lineup against France on Sunday (29), played 45 minutes (he was substituted at halftime), with no direct contributions. In the match against Croatia, the Palmeiras No. 11 played 72 minutes and scored for the Colombian National Team in the 2-1 defeat.

Paraguay trio

Palmeiras’ trio of Paraguayans continued their preparation for the World Cup. Gustavo Gómez, the national team captain, was once again a starter and played the entire 2-1 loss to Morocco on Tuesday afternoon (31) – he had already played all 90 minutes in the 1-0 win over Greece on Friday (27).

Ramón Sosa and Maurício started on the bench. The Brazilian-born midfielder came on 11 minutes into the second half and was highly praised by Paraguayan fans after the match.

Ramón Sosa did not take the field against Morocco. Against Greece, he played part of the second half.

Emiliano with Uruguay

Defensive midfielder Emiliano Martínez played just over two minutes in Uruguay’s 0-0 draw against Algeria on Tuesday afternoon. Against England on Friday, he had played only six minutes in the second half of the 1-1 draw.

Full-back Piquerez missed the match against Algeria after suffering an ankle injury against England. On that occasion, he was in the starting XI and played only 10 minutes before going off injured due to a sprain. He is already being treated by the Health and Performance Department.

Argentina duo

For Argentina, Flaco López and Giay started and remained on the bench throughout the match against Zambia on Tuesday night – they had also begun outside the starting XI in the 2-1 win over Mauritania on Friday.

In Friday’s match, both came on during the game. Called up for the first time, the right-back is replacing Montiel and came on in the 20th minute of the second half. The forward, meanwhile, played around 15 minutes in the friendly at La Bombonera Stadium.
