Andreas Pereira injured, forced off early against Palmeiras | OneFootball

Midfielder Andreas Pereira could become a new concern for the medical department of Palmeiras. The number 8 left the field in the first half of the derby against Santos this Wednesday, after a fall on the pitch at Arena Barueri.

At the 13th minute, Andreas appeared on the right side and was stopped by a foul from Igor Vinícius, who received a yellow card. The midfielder fell awkwardly and immediately grabbed his left shoulder.

The Palmeiras medical department provided assistance on the field, but he was unable to return to the game. The staff then signaled the need for a substitution to the coaching team. Abel Ferreira opted to bring on the young Larson.

Andreas Pereira is expected to undergo tests to determine whether it was just the impact or a more serious injury to the area affected by the fall.

If he does have an injury, he could join six other players: Paulinho (surgery on right leg), Jefté (edema in right thigh), Felipe Anderson (sprained right ankle), Facundo Torres (muscle injury in left thigh), Lucas Evangelista, and Figueiredo (physical transition).
