Palmeiras v Vasco: Verdão sweating over seven players ahead of Choque-Rei | OneFootball

Palmeiras takes the field this Wednesday (1st) at 7 PM, at the Allianz Parque, to face Vasco for the 26th round of the Brazilian Championship. Besides the need to recover after the defeat to Bahia, the match brings an extra concern for coach Abel Ferreira: the high number of players at risk of suspension with two yellow cards.

Verdão has eight names on the suspension risk list, but Lucas Evangelista, with a thigh injury, is already a confirmed absence. Among the starters are goalkeeper Weverton, right-back Giay, defender Gustavo Gómez, and left-back Piquerez, as well as midfielder Aníbal Moreno. In the offensive sector, forwards Facundo Torres and Vitor Roque are also at risk. To top it off, even assistant coach Vitor Castanheira is at risk of suspension.

The situation is concerning because, right after facing Vasco, Palmeiras has the classic against São Paulo, scheduled for the weekend, also in the Brasileirão. A potential absence of key players could directly impact Abel Ferreira's strategy for the Choque-Rei.

And now?

Palmeiras returns to the field next Wednesday (1st) at 7 PM (Brasília time) against Vasco, at Allianz Parque. The game is part of the Brazilian Championship.
