Suspended, Paulo Henrique misses Leila Pereira’s private flight back | OneFootball

Right-back Paulo Henrique, called up to the Brazilian National Team and suspended for the match between Vasco x Grêmio, will not return to Brazil on the private flight offered by Palmeiras president Leila Pereira. The information was initially reported by BTB Sports and journalist Marcelo Marinho.

With no need to report back for Wednesday’s match (19th), the player remains in Lille, where the National Team is based, and will decide in the coming hours whether he will travel directly from France to Salvador, Vasco’s destination for the weekend.

Paulo Henrique’s suspension was a concern for the coaching staff, since the club did not have a natural right-back available to face Grêmio. The solution would have been to improvise Tchê Tchê in the role. However, the early return of Puma Rodríguez to Rio solved the problem: the Uruguayan trained as usual and is expected to start at the Arena.

In addition to Paulo Henrique, Vasco will also be without Colombians Carlos Cuesta and Andrés Gómez, who are representing their national team in a friendly against Australia, scheduled for this Tuesday at 10 p.m. (Brasília time) in New York.
