Palmeiras expect first call-ups back from early Tuesday ahead of Bahia game | OneFootball

Palmeiras expect the first of their internationals, who have been playing friendlies during this FIFA window, to return in the early hours of Tuesday, with all eight anticipated to be back in Brazil before facing Bahia on Thursday at 21:30 Brasília time at Nubank Parque.

According to Globo.com, the first club-chartered flight will collect the Paraguayan trio Gustavo Gómez, Mauricio and Sosa in the United States after their game against New York Red Bulls on Monday, with the players scheduled to land in Brazil early on Tuesday.

Next, Giay and Flaco López will board another charter after Argentina’s final friendly against Benin in Buenos Aires. Their arrival is expected in the early hours of Wednesday.

Arias plays on Tuesday for Colombia against Peru in Miami, then returns on the third club-chartered aircraft. Palmeiras expect the number 11 at the Football Academy on Wednesday.

Emiliano Martínez and Piquerez face the longest journey. Uruguay play in India on Tuesday, and both will follow their national team’s logistics. They are due in Brazil on Wednesday afternoon.

On their return, players will be assessed for fatigue to determine whether they can face Bahia and for how long. The club are treating their status cautiously after dealing with call-up injuries following the World Cup.

The Bahia fixture begins a run of 10 matches in one month for Palmeiras, with six Brasileirão games plus four semi-finals, in the Copa do Brasil and the Libertadores.
