  • Vitor Roque is unavailable for the upcoming Brasileiro match against Athletico.
  • The forward is currently undergoing treatment for an ankle sprain.
  • Gustavo Gómez and Giay are also ruled out due to suspension.

Palmeiras manager Abel Ferreira is preparing tactical changes for this Saturday's Brasileiro match against Athletico at Arena da Baixada. The team faces several personnel challenges heading into the 31st round of the competition.

Forward Vitor Roque remains sidelined as he continues to receive treatment for an ankle sprain sustained during last Sunday's match against Corinthians. His availability for the second leg of the Copa Libertadores semifinal against Fluminense remains uncertain as he deals with physical issues that have hampered his 2026 season.

In addition to Roque, Palmeiras will be without defenders Gustavo Gómez and Giay. Both players are suspended for this fixture after receiving their third yellow cards.
