Palmeiras hit by spate of injuries after World Cup | OneFootball

Palmeiras have been hit by a run of fitness setbacks since the post-World Cup period, with nine players affected in recent weeks. The issues have reduced Abel Ferreira’s options as the season intensifies. The injuries have also increased the load on the medical department.

According to Nosso Palestra, Felipe Anderson has oedema in his left thigh, and Giay sustained a sprain to his right ankle. Paulinho has dealt with a left ankle sprain and a right thigh injury. Captain Gustavo Gómez suffered a right thigh injury, the same problem reported for Khellven.

The list also includes Alexander Barboza with a foot trauma and Ramón Sosa with a left thigh injury. Piquerez has oedema in his left leg and right thigh. The most recent case is Arias, who has a mild right thigh injury.

The spate of problems has arrived amid a congested schedule, with Palmeiras competing in the Campeonato Brasileiro, the Copa do Brasil and the Libertadores simultaneously.

With decisive matches ahead, Abel faces the task of managing workloads and finding solutions within the squad. The aim is to prevent an even longer list of absences.
