Palmeiras lose all foreigners to call-ups, nearly a full XI away | OneFootball

Palmeiras received the news last Tuesday of right-back Agustín Giay’s call-up, summoned by Lionel Scaloni to replace the injured Gonzalo Montiel of River Plate. With that, Verdão reached its eighth player called up to a national team.

The green-and-white side released Gustavo Gómez, Ramón Sosa and Mauricio to Paraguay; Piquerez and Emiliano Martínez to Uruguay; Flaco López and Agustín Giay to Argentina; and finally Jhon Arias to Colombia. Of the eight called up, two received their first-ever call-up: Giay and Mauricio.

Born in Brazil, Mauricio recently obtained Paraguayan nationality and, at the first opportunity with his paperwork in order, received a call-up from coach Gustavo Alfaro.

Almost a whole team missing

Without almost an entire team, Palmeiras returns to Academia de Futebol this Wednesday after three days off. The exception was the group of called-up players, who joined their respective national teams shortly after last Saturday’s match.

Given this scenario, Palmeiras still does not know whether it will be able to count on some of the players for the clash against Grêmio and will define, in the coming days, the logistics for the return of its athletes.

Argentina is training in Buenos Aires, while Uruguay will have its commitments in England. Colombia, meanwhile, is in the United States and Paraguay, finally, will play both friendlies in France.
