Ramón Sosa ruled out of Palmeiras’ Cerro Porteño second leg after hamstring injury | OneFootball

Palmeiras have begun preparations for the Libertadores return leg against Cerro Porteño, but forward Ramón Sosa will miss the decisive tie after suffering a left hamstring injury, the club confirmed.

The teams meet on Wednesday 19 at 19:00 Brasília time in Paraguay. The first leg at Nubank Parque ended 1-1, leaving Palmeiras needing an away win to advance.

Sosa came on at half-time against Fluminense last Saturday 15, but was substituted 33 minutes into the second half.

Right-back Khellven, sidelined from recent matches with a right thigh injury, is making progress. He has started on-pitch transition work alongside the club’s health and performance staff.

Palmeiras are three-time Libertadores champions and are chasing a fourth title. This is one of the competition’s most frequent international rivalries, with 19 meetings to date, and Palmeiras lead the head-to-head with 10 wins, six draws and three defeats.
