Palmeiras worry over absentees for Santos clash, see who’s out | OneFootball

Palmeiras will have an extensive list of absences to face Santos this Saturday, in the Brazilian Championship. Coach Abel Ferreira was already dealing with five missing players for the derby, but after the call-up of the Uruguayan national team and the confirmation of Allan’s suspension this Monday, the number of absences for the team has increased to nine.

Last week, four Palmeiras players were called up to their respective national teams. Vitor Roque was called up by Carlo Ancelotti to play for the Brazilian National Team, while Ramón Sosa and Gustavo Gómez will join the Paraguayan team. Flaco López, meanwhile, was listed by Argentina.

In the defeat to Mirassol this Sunday, Andreas Pereira ended up being booked with his third yellow card in the Brazilian Championship and will serve an automatic suspension against Santos. The match is scheduled for 9 p.m. (Brasília time), at Vila Belmiro.

New Absences

This Monday, Palmeiras’ list of absences increased with the call-ups of Piquerez, Facundo Torres, and Emiliano Martínez by Uruguay.

In the morning, the Superior Tribunal of Sports Justice (STJD) also upheld Allan’s two-match suspension for his red card against Fluminense. He served his suspension in the match against Grêmio in July and will need to complete it in this Saturday’s derby.
