Palmeiras defined the logistics for the weekday trip to Manta, Ecuador, where the match against Delfín took place, opening the knockout stages of the Copa Libertadores.
There are two separate groups: one goes on Monday, while the other leaves only on Tuesday night, on the sponsor’s plane, with whom to test negative for Covid-19.
To have most of the missing squad in Wednesday’s match, at 7.15pm (from Brasilia), Palmeiras will promote exams on Monday, and the results will come out on Tuesday (probably in the morning).
Those who test negative and resolve bureaucratic issues for international travel through Conmebol take the Crefisa plane and meet the rest of the group.

Palmeiras’ situation in the face of the pandemic is critical. For this Saturday’s game against Goiás, for example, coach Abel Ferreira has only 13 professional players at his disposal, including 18-year-old defender Renan, who has played in the last games due to absences.
Covid-19 intervened before Jailson, Vinicius Silvestre, Matías Viña, Alan Empereur, Benjamín Kuscevic, Danilo, Gustavo Scarpa, Raphael Veiga, Quiñonez, Gabriel Silva, Willian, Breno Lopes, Aníbal, Rony, Gabriel Veron, Marino Hinestroza and Pedro Acacio.
The young midfielder Alan, who spent the season on loan from Guaraní and returned to the Football Academy due to a serious fracture, also tested positive for the new coronavirus, but is not part of the current squad.
