Absence

The Palmeiras number nine is expected to miss Verdão in two important matches in the Campeonato Brasileiro. In a rescheduled match, Palmeiras will take the field during this FIFA Date against Santos, at Vila Belmiro, on November 15, at 9:00 PM (Brasília time).

Initially, the player was only going to miss this match for the Greatest Champion of Brazil, but with Atlético-MG qualifying for the Copa Sudamericana final, Verdão's clash with the Minas Gerais club should take place on Tuesday, the 18th. This means the forward will miss yet another important game in the final stretch of the Brasileirão.
