Palmeiras confirmed this Sunday (17) that Paraguayan forward Ramón Sosa suffered a left ankle sprain with mild ligament damage during the match against Cruzeiro on Saturday (16). The player left the field at the 17th minute of the first half after a hard tackle by Lucas Romero.
According to the club's official medical report, the injury is not serious and will not require surgical intervention. Treatment will be conservative, based on physiotherapy and progressive evolution. The estimate is that Sosa will be sidelined for about two weeks, but his return will depend on the ankle's response during rehabilitation.
The news eases concerns both at Palmeiras and the Paraguayan national team, which counts on the forward for the 2026 World Cup. With the expected timeline, Sosa should be available in time for the tournament, although recovery must be closely monitored.
The club also reported that midfielder Felipe Anderson suffered a low-grade injury to the posterior muscle of his left thigh, but there are no details on his recovery time.
