Palmeiras faces a fitness concern regarding forward Paulinho following the team's recent match against Fluminense. Paulinho, who had returned from a previous injury just over a week ago, reported pain in his right leg after being on the receiving end of a hard tackle from Nonato.

The player entered the match in the 85th minute and was seen limping for the remainder of the contest. He eventually left the pitch in tears after the conclusion of the penalty shootout. While Palmeiras celebrated their qualification for the Libertadores final, the physical condition of the attacker remains a point of concern for manager Abel Ferreira.
