Palmeiras faces Santos next Saturday (15th), at Vila Belmiro, in a postponed match of the Brazilian Championship. Verdão will have a series of absences due to the FIFA International Match Calendar but will have the return of Flaco López for the match.

Upon arriving in Brazil, he will be re-evaluated by the Health and Performance Center (NSP). The flight from Angola to Brazil takes approximately 8 hours.
