Palmeiras hope Flaco López faces Santos amid Argentina turmoil | OneFootball

Most national teams will play two friendlies, but Argentina will play only once

Flamengo fans are keeping an eye on Palmeiras’ absences for the match against Santos on Saturday (15th). However, one of the possible absentees may still play at Vila Belmiro in the next round: Flaco López. Called up, the striker will represent Argentina, but the ‘hermanos’ have only one game during the FIFA break.

The current world champions will face Angola, in Africa, at 1pm (Brasília time) next Friday (14th). Therefore, Palmeiras is preparing an ‘operation’ to have Flaco López back in time to face Santos. The São Paulo derby will be at 9pm (Brasília time).

WHO ARE THE CONFIRMED ABSENCES FOR PALMEIRAS IN THE MATCH AGAINST SANTOS?

While Flaco López is doubtful, Palmeiras does have certain absences for the game against Santos. Called up by the Brazilian National Team, Vitor Roque is out. Uruguay has called up Piquerez, Emiliano Martínez, and Facundo Torres. There are also the cases of Gustavo Gómez and Ramón Sosa, who are with Paraguay. Finally, Allan and Andreas Pereira are serving suspensions.

DID FLAMENGO HAVE THE SAME LUCK?

Players from Flamengo will represent four national teams during this FIFA break: Brazil, Uruguay, Colombia, and Ecuador. Therefore, Danilo, Alex Sandro, Arrascaeta, Varela, Viña, Carrascal, and Plata are expected to be available until November 18th, when all four teams play their second friendly of the window.

Therefore, Flamengo’s called-up players will miss the match against Sport next Saturday (15th) in Pernambuco. In addition, the athletes will have to race against time to be available for coach Filipe Luís for the derby on the 19th, against Fluminense at Maracanã.
