Palmeiras reshuffle: stars out vs Juventude after fixture change | OneFootball

Palmeiras takes the field this Saturday (11th), at 7:00 PM, at Allianz Parque, to face Juventude in a rescheduled match from the 12th round of the Brazilian Championship. The game, which was originally set to be played before the club’s participation in the Club World Cup, now comes at a very different moment for the team—both on and off the field.

At the time when the match was initially scheduled, Verdão still had important players who are no longer part of the current squad, such as Estêvão and Richard Ríos, as well as Paulinho, who is injured. The team was also still using the attacking duo of Flaco López and Vitor Roque, who changed the team’s offensive dynamics throughout the Brasileirão.

Now, however, the scenario is different: even with important reinforcements, such as Andreas Pereira who has been one of the standouts in midfield, coach Abel Ferreira will have many problems when setting up his team.

Absences weigh on planning

The list of absences for the match against Juventude is extensive. Due to national team call-ups, the following players will not be available:

Due to injury, the team will also be without Ramón Sosa, who scored the winning goal in the 3-2 comeback victory in the derby against São Paulo in the last round. In addition, Vitor Roque is suspended, which takes out the offensive duo that had been working well in recent matches.
