Luan, from Palmeiras, has a confirmed injury; Piquerez suffers from edema

Palmeiras has two concerns to manage in this final stretch of the Brazilian championship. Moreover, Luan and Piquerez underwent tests which confirmed physical problems. While the defender suffered an injury to his right thigh, the left back suffered swelling in his left thigh.

The two were injured last Saturday in the 3-0 win against Internacional. However, the diagnosis was made this Monday (13).

As for Piquerez, the edema was decisive in not being called up by the Uruguayan team in the next qualifying matches of this FIFA date.

Since it is not an injury, Palmeiras believes that the full-back will be able to play against Fortaleza, in the return of the Brasileirão, on 26 November.




However, Luan’s situation deserves more attention. After all, there is no return period. The defender was widely used by coach Abel Ferreira in this recovery campaign for Verdão, who took the lead in the championship. If he cannot play, the options are defender Naves or full-back Marcos Rocha who acts as a third defender, which happens quite frequently.

Palmeiras gave the team two days off during this match-free period. The re-presentation will take place on Wednesday, at 4pm, at the Football Academy.
