Palmeiras team news: Paulinho steps up, Piquerez ruled out for Vasco test | OneFootball

Palmeiras are preparing to face Vasco on Sunday 23, 16h Brasília time, at Nubank Parque, seeking to halt a two-match winless run in the Brasileiro.

According to Nosso Palestra, forward Paulinho has begun his physical transition and trained separately on the pitch with the club’s health and performance staff. Left-back Piquerez is following an internal programme after suffering a left-leg oedema in the 1-0 win over Cerro Porteño and is out of the Vasco match.

Midfielder Allan, in negotiations with Manchester City, trained with the group but may not be included in the squad by coach Abel Ferreira and could be another absentee.

Andreas Pereira returns for the Vasco game after suspension kept him out of the Cerro Porteño fixture.

The probable Palmeiras line-up is Carlos Miguel, Murilo, Gustavo Gómez, Barboza, Giay (Khellven), Marlon Freitas, Andreas Pereira, Arthur, Arias, Flaco López and Vitor Roque.
