Palmeiras change attack again as Felipe Anderson expected to face Mirassol | OneFootball

Palmeiras are set for another reshuffle in attack at Mirassol on Sunday, with Felipe Anderson likely to cover for the injured Jhon Arias. Kick-off is 6.30pm Brasília time at Estádio Campos Maia in the 25th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A.

According to Nosso Palestra, Abel Ferreira has repeatedly reworked his forward line amid injuries, sales and returns. Arias has a minor problem in the posterior of his right thigh and will miss this match.

The likely front three is Felipe Anderson, Flaco López and Vitor Roque, with Maurício operating slightly deeper on the left. That setup is viewed as the probable plan for the interior paulista fixture.

Across the campaign, Abel has alternated between Maurício, Ramón Sosa and Arias, then Maurício, Flaco López and Arias, and later Maurício, Flaco and Vitor Roque. In the first half of the year options were thin as Felipe Anderson and Sosa were sidelined and Vitor Roque was still recovering.

Felipe Anderson is the natural fit on the right and recently replaced Arias late on against Santos. He has four goals and five assists in 2026, per the club’s official numbers.

The churn comes as Allan has joined Manchester City and Riquelme Fillipi is in negotiations with Inter Miami. Paulinho has suffered another adductor longus tendon injury in his right leg and is only due back after the October international window. Also unavailable are Ramón Sosa, Jefté and Piquerez, while the club backs its squad and academy and keeps an open mind on market opportunities.
