Aníbal Moreno returns v Corinthians, seeks redemption after red card | OneFootball

Suspended in the last Palmeiras match in the Brazilian Championship, Aníbal Moreno is back at Abel Ferreira's disposal just in time for one of the most important duels of the season: the Derby against Corinthians, this Sunday (31), at the Neo Química Arena, for the 22nd round. The match represents not only a chance for Palmeiras to stay in the fight for the lead but also a special opportunity for 'redemption' for the Argentine midfielder.

The last time he was on the field against the biggest rival, Moreno was sent off in the first half of the decisive round of 16 match in the Copa do Brasil, in an incident that generated strong repercussions among fans and the press. According to NOSSO PALESTRA, the player was deeply shaken in the locker room, even apologizing to the entire team.

A fundamental piece in the defensive structure set up by Abel Ferreira, the Argentine is seen as one of the pillars of the green-and-white midfield and can be decisive in a game that promises intensity and physical contest every minute.

In a scenario where Palmeiras needs to earn points to stay close to Flamengo and depend only on themselves in the fight for the lead, having Aníbal at a high level is of great importance for Abel Ferreira.

And it's always good to remember, there's nothing better than a Derby to correct a mistake made in another.
