Hermanos will play only one friendly match this term and the striker may arrive in Brazil before the classic match next Sunday
Amid several absences from the classic match against Santos, next Saturday (15), Palmeiras may receive a reinforcement. Striker Flaco Lopez, who has been called up to the Argentine national team, has a chance to return in time for the match at Villa Belmiro.
After all, the current world champions will only play one friendly match in this FIFA history. The match against Angola will be held on Friday (14) in Luanda. In the original schedule, there was a friendly match in India, which was cancelled. Coach Lionel Scaloni then decided to schedule a series of training sessions, but they ended up being cancelled.
Thus, the players will be free to return to their clubs after the match in the African country. Therefore, there is a possibility that Palmeiras will charter a plane to transport the attacker in Angola. But no definition has yet been issued by the club in this regard.
For the Classic, Verdão only has Bruno Rodriguez available for the position. Palmeiras does not have Vitor Roque, who is with the Brazilian national team, nor other attacking options, such as Facundo Torres and Ramon Sosa, who are also with their teams.
