Eliminated by Flamengo in the Copa do Brasil, Palmeiras will not have striker Dudu available for a rematch at Maracanã in the Brasileirão. The number 7 felt his calf during training this Saturday (10) at the Football Academy and is out of the match against Mengão, this Sunday afternoon (11), at 4pm (Brasília time). The information comes from journalist André Hernan.
In addition to Dudu, Abel Ferreira's team will also be without Felipe Anderson and Mayke, who started the last game against Flamengo and were injured in the first half. Felipe is trying to recover from an eye injury, while Mayke still feels muscle pain in her calf. Due to a knee sprain, young Estêvão is also a confirmed absence from Palestra Itália.
Dudu has been in crisis at Palmeiras since his departure to Cruzeiro was announced. However, he backtracked after receiving pressure from an organized fan base. The situation created uneasiness and president Leila Pereira even said that the attacker is experiencing the end of a cycle: “Everything in life has a cycle that begins and one that ends”, he said on SporTV. After that, Dudu gained few chances with Abel.
A month ago, GE reported that Flamengo and Palmeiras were working on an exchange between Dudu and Gabigol. In fact, football vice Marcos Braz would be responsible for trying to convince the athlete to accept the red-black project. But hours later, the information was denied by all parties.

In the relationship between Gabigol and coach Tite at Flamengo, only the field is capable of speaking. Between the striker and coach, there is practically no dialogue, and the cold and silent war dictates that only one of them should remain at the club for the season in 2025.
No atmosphere with the coaching staff and also with the squad , Gabriel Barbosa has been convinced to change and airs, but even the clubs that expressed interest in the first half of the year backed away. With a contract at Flamengo until the end of December, Gabigol had offers from Palmeiras, Corinthians and Santos, was mentioned at Grêmio, but did not want to sign a pre-contract with any team.
The expectation was to try to turn things around on top in the second half, otherwise he would end his time at Flamengo like the idol he became, without any fuss.
Tite's arrival last year changed the entire perspective of the striker, who was already in a bad phase previously, and lost his place once and for all to Pedro with the presence of the new coach. With the center forward's recent injury, Tite kept Gabigol at the end of the line, under the argument that Carlinhos and Bruno Henrique perform better in the scheme with a reference man .
Without understanding the criteria, Gabi maintains her dedication to the basic level of professionalism in training, as it is not part of the coach's or the club's plans for a possible renewal. With the chances of a comeback practically buried, the two possible paths are to wait for the election in Flamengo to find out if Tite will remain with the next president; or wait for the end of the contract to freely listen to proposals again. Palmeiras and Santos have not yet given up on the idea, and Bahia appears as an option, as it has good investment capacity.
