Palmeiras target key run, need full squad—who risks ban vs Vitória | OneFootball

With six games remaining in the season, Palmeiras enters a decisive phase as it simultaneously competes for the title in both the Brazilian Championship and the Copa Libertadores. After the defeat against Santos, Abel Ferreira highlighted the lack of options in the second half, stating that the team “ran out of energy” due to the limited bench. To stay alive in both competitions, the club understands that having the entire squad available will be fundamental.

The coaching staff will once again have the players who were called up by their national teams, an important reinforcement for planning the final rounds. However, the match against Vitória, this Wednesday (19th), at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time), brings a warning: seven members of the Palmeiras delegation are one yellow card away from suspension and risk being suspended if they receive a yellow card.
