Injured Veiga may lose key Copa do Brasil stat to Mauricio | OneFootball

Out of Palmeiras since the elimination against Corinthians in the Copa do Brasil, Raphael Veiga remains a doubt due to pubic pain. The player has been doing individualized activities during the week and hasn’t even been included in the squad for the last three matches.

After the derby against Corinthians, for the Brazilian Championship, this Sunday (31), Verdão will have about two weeks until their next match, against Internacional, on September 13, also for the national league. During this time, Veiga is expected to be available again for Abel Ferreira.

Record under threat

Meanwhile, with Mauricio playing without competition in Veiga’s position, the number 18 is close to surpassing the number 23 as the team’s top assist provider of the season. With seven assists, Mauricio is just one behind Veiga, who has eight.

Veiga’s assists this season were mainly recorded in the Campeonato Paulista. He provided seven assists in the state championship and only one in the Brasileirão. On the other hand, Mauricio’s assists came in both championships, but also in the Club World Cup and the Libertadores.
