Palmeiras may have a new embezzlement for the confrontation on Saturday, at 9:30 p.m. (Brasilia time), against Fluminense, for the Brazilian Championship. Midfielder Zé Rafael was diagnosed with a right ankle sprain and will be evaluated every day. The decision on the lineup will be made only after the activity on Friday.
Zé Rafael was injured in the second half of Palma’s 3-0 victory over Ceará in the quarterfinals of the Brazil Cup. As soon as he “stepped on the wrong side”, jersey 8 felt a sharp pain in the area and was finally replaced by Patrick de Paula.
The midfielder began ice treatment while still on the bench and then underwent tests that revealed the injury. The athlete even dedicated himself solely to recovering his ankle on Thursday morning at the CT alviverde.

For the confrontation against Fluminense, Palmeiras will not have Weverton, Matías Viña, Gabriel Menino and Gustavo Gómez, all at the service of the teams in the South American Qualifiers. Felipe Melo and Wesley, who recently had surgery, are also out and shouldn’t even be back this season.
Defender Luan was diagnosed with Covid-19 and is in isolation. So you don’t play on the weekend either. Who can return is Luiz Adriano, who suffers an overload on his left thigh. This week, jersey 10 still hasn’t worked with the ball.
Thus, of the athletes who have established themselves in recent weeks as starters, Abel Ferreira should only have midfielder Raphael Veiga and striker Ron available. The former scored a goal against Ceará, while jersey 11 entered the second half.
