Sosa trains, Palmeiras get boost vs Bragantino: probable line-up | OneFootball

Palmeiras finished preparing to face Red Bull Bragantino on Tuesday afternoon and could have a new feature for the clash. Coach Abel Ferreira and his staff conducted different tactical drills and rehearsed set pieces with the Palmeiras squad at Allianz Parque, the venue for the match.

Palmeiras and Bragantino face each other this Wednesday, in the 28th round of the Brazilian Championship. Kickoff is at 7 p.m. (Brasília time).

Ramón Sosa expected to return

Forward Ramón Sosa progressed in his recovery from a left thigh edema and took part in the entire training session with the rest of the squad. The Paraguayan suffered the injury before the FIFA break, in the 3–2 win over São Paulo. He had been called up by Paraguay, but was cut and stayed at Palmeiras to recover from the injury.

He completed a single full training session with the squad during the preparations and is expected to be included in the matchday squad.

Absences, doubts, and returns

Right-back Khellven, who is recovering from a foot trauma, followed an individualized plan and worked separately on the field with the Health and Performance Center (NSP). Therefore, he remains out for Verdão, as do Lucas Evangelista (right thigh surgery) and Paulinho (right leg surgery).

Palmeiras will also be without their called-up players. The Uruguayans Emiliano Martínez and Facundo Torres, who played on Monday, would have had a better chance of being available, but did not train with the group. Aníbal Moreno, Flaco López, and Gustavo Gómez are still playing on Tuesday. The Argentine duo play in the United States, while the Paraguayan plays in Asia.

In addition to Sosa, Palmeiras will have the return of forward Vitor Roque, who served a suspension against Juventude.

Probable Palmeiras lineup

The probable Palmeiras lineup features: Weverton; Giay, Micael, Bruno Fuchs, Murilo, and Piquerez; Andreas Pereira, Mauricio, Felipe Anderson; Raphael Veiga and Vitor Roque.
