Lucas Evangelista close to returning

Midfielder Lucas Evangelista is expected to reinforce Palmeiras in the coming days and is eagerly anticipating being listed again after about four months. After recovering from surgery on his right thigh, the player trained normally with the squad.

Medical Department Situation

On the other hand, midfielder Figueiredo followed a schedule on the field with the Health and Performance Center. Still under the care of the Medical Department are forward Paulinho (surgery on the right leg) and attacking midfielder Felipe Anderson (ankle sprain).

Probable Palmeiras lineup

In its last commitment, Palmeiras fielded a reserve team due to the rotation that Abel Ferreira has been promoting at the start of the season. For the match against Vitória, the team is expected to have the returns of Carlos Miguel, Gustavo Gómez, and Piquerez, who were rested.

Thus, a probable Palmeiras lineup includes: Carlos Miguel; Khellven, Gustavo Gómez, Bruno Fuchs (Murilo), and Piquerez; Marlon Freitas, Andreas Pereira, Mauricio, and Allan; Flaco López and Vitor Roque.

Palmeiras has not yet won in the Brasileirão. In the debut, the Alviverde drew 2-2 with Atlético-MG away from home. In the Paulista Championship, Abel Ferreira's team is in second place, with 12 points, and is coming off a 1-0 defeat to Botafogo-SP.
