Paulinho earns return forecasts in Palmeiras after surgery

One of the main bets of Palmeiras for the season, Paulinho came to the club recovered from the intervention of the tibia, held in December last year, when he defended Atletico-Mg. Hiring for 18 million euros (about $ 115 million), the attacker was also counterpointed by Patrick and Gabriel Boy at the Minas Gerais Club. His link with Alviverde is valid until the end of 2029.

Despite the investments and expectations generated, the player has faced physical difficulties since he arrived at the club. The debut took place only in April, yet with limits. Throughout the season, there were only 435 minutes on the field, distributed in 16 games, with three goals scored and two assists. The average time per game was about 27 minutes.

During the Club World Cup, held between June and July, in the United States, Paulinho was used again, although it was not in full condition. The coach Abel Ferreira, at the time, even said he would be able to play only between 15 and 30 minutes per game. However, he managed to distinguish himself by scoring important goals against Inter Miami and Botafogo.

However, the annoyances are persisted and the solution found was a new surgery in the tibia of the right leg on Tuesday (22). According to a Palmeiras declaration, the procedure has been successful and the player will begin his rehabilitation in the next few days with the Club’s health and performance nucleus.

After the operation, the athlete himself admitted that he will not play later this season. Previously, there was an optimistic return forecast until September, an absence of about two months. However, the scenario was more delicate and the recovery period has been extended.

“Shortly after the Club World Cup said the treatment would leave him out of the rest of the year.”

In the meantime, the cast of Palmeirense follows in the middle of the Brazilirão controversy. The team returns to the field this Wednesday (23), at 19:00 (Brasilia time), to face Fluminense in Maracanã, for the 16th round. Verdon occupies fourth place with 26 points, but has two games less than direct opponents.

In addition, the club already projects the classic against Corinthians, valid for the 16 of the Brazilian cup 16. The clashes are scheduled for July 30 at the new Chemistry Arena, and on August 7, in Allianz Parque, both at 9:30 pm (Brasilia Time).
