Palmeiras rest before preparing to face Santos in FIFA break | OneFootball

The Palmeiras squad received two days off before starting preparations for the game against Santos, postponed from the 13th round of the Brazilian Championship, on November 15, which takes place during the FIFA date. The Palmeiras delegation will reassemble on Wednesday morning at the Football Academy.

The team will have a free week after just over a month. Coach Abel Ferreira has the task, during this period, of assembling a “puzzle” to field the team, which has a total of 12 absences.

This will be the last period of significant rest the team has before the Libertadores final against Flamengo, which will be on November 29. After facing Santos, Verdão has scheduled matches against Vitória, Fluminense, and Grêmio.

The coaching staff cannot count on seven players called up during this FIFA date: Gustavo Gómez (Paraguay), Ramón Sosa (Paraguay), Vitor Roque (Brazil), Flaco López (Argentina), Emiliano Martínez (Uruguay), Facundo Torres (Uruguay), and Piquerez (Uruguay).

Therefore, the group, which is concentrated with their respective national teams for a friendly match during the FIFA date, is out of the game against Santos.

Suspended and injured players increase the list of absences during the FIFA date

Midfielders Allan and Andreas Pereira are also out of the classic. The first is serving a suspension determined by the STJD due to a red card received in the game against Fluminense, back in June. Meanwhile, Andreas received the third yellow card against Mirassol.

In addition to them, coach Abel Ferreira continues without the trio handed over to the Medical Department. They are: Weverton (fracture in the right hand), Paulinho (surgery on the right leg), and Lucas Evangelista (surgery on the right thigh).

Palmeiras' situation in the Brazilian Championship

Finally, even with the defeat to Mirassol, Palmeiras remained in the lead of the Brasileirão. However, they saw Flamengo equal their points. Verdão has 68 points and remains at the top, with one more victory than the Rubro-Negro.
