Palmeiras face suspension risks as crucial Brasileiro stage looms | OneFootball

Palmeiras takes the field this Wednesday to face Vitória in an early match of the 37th round of the Brazilian Championship. The ball starts rolling at 7:30 PM (Brasília time), at Allianz Parque, in São Paulo (SP). The team enters the match with eight players and one member of the coaching staff at risk of suspension.

Who is at risk of suspension for Palmeiras?

The following players are at risk of suspension with two yellow cards: Gustavo Gómez, Bruno Fuchs, Murilo, Piquerez, Facundo Torres, Flaco López, Lucas Evangelista, and Weverton, as well as assistant coach Vitor Castanheira. However, the last two players mentioned are certain absences for the match against Vitória, as they are recovering from injuries.

Meanwhile, defenders Gustavo Gómez, Murilo, and Bruno Fuchs, left-back Piquerez, and forwards Facundo Torres and Flaco López should all be available to coach Abel Ferreira. Gómez, Piquerez, and Facundo Torres are currently with their national teams, but will return on the morning of the match and are expected to be options.

Palmeiras gets two players back

While Palmeiras is concerned about some players at risk of suspension, on the other hand, they are more at ease as they have two returns. Midfielders Allan and Andreas Pereira are once again options for Abel Ferreira. The former served a suspension from the STJD for a red card received in June, while the latter was suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards.

Palmeiras’ situation in the Brazilian Championship
