Figueiredo travels with Palmeiras U20s, could return after 13 months | OneFootball

One of the great promises of Palmeiras’ youth academy, midfielder Figueiredo has struggled with injuries and, after undergoing the third Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) surgery of his career in March 2025, he is set to play again.

Called up for Palmeiras’ Under-20 team

NOSSO PALESTRA has learned that the Academy graduate traveled with the Under-20 squad to Minas Gerais for the match against Cruzeiro next Tuesday (28), in the Brazilian Under-20 Championship.

If chosen by Allan Barcellos, Figueiredo could return to playing after nearly 13 months out and a full recovery.

Figueiredo’s third injury

In September 2022, the youngster tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee and was sidelined for around nine months. Shortly after returning, the player suffered the same injury again, 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 Copa Libertadores. The player underwent surgery on the 28th of the same month and, since then, began his recovery process the following week under the care of the Health and Performance Department.
