Figueiredo cleared by medical team, could feature for Palmeiras | OneFootball

One of the great promises from Palmeiras' youth academy, midfielder Figueiredo has struggled with injuries and, after undergoing the third Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) surgery in his career in February 2025, is close to returning to the field.

Cleared by Palmeiras' Medical Department

NOSSO PALESTRA reported that last Monday (16), the Medical Department cleared the Academy's talent to participate in all activities with the team and be available to Abel Ferreira for the matches.

Figueiredo has played one match for the professional team, against Corinthians, in the group stage of the 2025 Paulistão, at Allianz Parque.

Figueiredo's Third Injury

In September 2022, the young player tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee and was out of action for about nine months. Shortly after his return, the athlete suffered the same injury, this time in his left knee, and had to undergo another surgery.

In February 2025, the midfielder suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury in his right knee during the Under-20 Libertadores. The athlete underwent a surgical procedure on the 28th of the same month and has since started the recovery process, under the care of the Health and Performance Center.
