Palmeiras battles injuries this season, seek squad boost after break | OneFootball

Palmeiras dealt with a string of physical problems for virtually the entire season and, so far, still has not managed to completely empty its medical department. Injuries and physical limitations have affected different areas of the team, impacting important names such as Piquerez, Jefte, Bruno Fuchs, Paulinho, and Vitor Roque.

With the break in the schedule for the World Cup, the coaching staff and medical department are working to minimize the impact of these absences and recover players for the decisive stretch of the year.

According to NOSSO PALESTRA, Verdão’s main objective is to have Vitor Roque fit to play in the Conmebol Libertadores round of 16, when the team will face Cerro Porteño. The forward is still in the recovery process, and there is an expectation that he will be available for the continental clash.

In addition, another piece of information obtained by NP and confirmed by Paulinho indicates that the No. 10 should receive a greater number of minutes after competitions resume.

Even with the obstacles faced throughout the year, Palmeiras is looking to make the most of the stoppage period to strengthen the squad and arrive more competitive for the decisive challenges of the season, especially in the Libertadores and the other competitions still on its schedule.
