Palmeiras lose Lucas Evangelista for the rest of the season | OneFootball

Palmeiras will not be able to count on Lucas Evangelista until the end of the season. The player ruptured the tendon of the posterior muscle of his right thigh and will need to undergo surgery. The injury occurred at the beginning of the match against Bahia, in Salvador, last Sunday (28). The information was published by "UOL" and confirmed by NOSSO PALESTRA.

Recovery time

The midfielder will undergo the surgical process in the coming days and the recovery time is three to six months. This will cause Lucas to miss the last rounds of the Brazilian Championship and the semifinal of the Copa Libertadores.

Andreas as a midfielder?

Without Lucas Evangelista, the tendency is for Abel Ferreira to use Andreas Pereira in the role alongside Aníbal Moreno in the middle. In this way, a position opens up in the offensive sector on the right side.
