Youth quartet could boost Palmeiras against Juventude amid absences

Amid a series of absences during the FIFA break, Palmeiras may once again count on a quartet from the youth academy for the match against Juventude, in the 12th round of the Brazilian Championship. The match kicks off this Saturday, starting at 7 p.m. (Brasília time), at Allianz Parque.

Abel Ferreira may therefore have reinforcements for four different positions. Right-back Gilberto, midfielders Erick Belé and Coutinho, and forward Luighi, who returned to the club after the Brazil U-20 National Team was eliminated from the World Cup, may be included in the squad for the match.

The Academy Graduates are part of the support group and, when at the club, they regularly participate in training sessions led by the Portuguese coaching staff. All of them have been available to the first team at least once. Among them, Luighi is the most adapted to the professional squad.

Palmeiras' Absences and Doubts for the Match Against Juventude

Between injuries, call-ups, and suspensions, Palmeiras has at least eight absences for the match against Juventude. There are five players called up, two injured, and one suspended. In addition to the confirmed absences, Abel Ferreira has two doubts: Khellven and Ramón Sosa.

The former is progressing in his recovery from a foot injury, while the Paraguayan, who was cut from the Paraguay squad, is recovering from a left thigh edema, an injury suffered in the 3-2 win over São Paulo last weekend.
