Palmeiras sweat on four absentees ahead of latest fixture
Palmeiras will be without four players for their match on 15 August, a fresh setback that follows the club's selection concerns flagged earlier this week.
Bruno Fuchs is missing after undergoing surgery, while Jefte is out with a knee injury. Khellven and Paulinho are both unavailable due to muscle injuries.
With defensive and attacking options both affected, the absences span multiple areas of the squad. Khellven and Paulinho's muscle problems remove two players who might otherwise have featured, while Jefte's knee issue and Fuchs's recovery from surgery add further depth to the list of unavailable names.
The fixture kicks off at 19:30 UTC on 15 August, with Palmeiras needing to manage the gaps left by these four absentees as they continue preparations.
