📋 Palmeiras line-up set for Libertadores group stage farewell
Palmeiras takes the field this Wednesday (28th) at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), when they host Sporting Cristal at Allianz Parque, for the last round of the group stage of the Conmebol Libertadores 2025.
Leading Group G with 15 points, Verdão is already qualified for the round of 16 and has the best overall campaign, which guarantees them home advantage in the knockout stage up to the semifinals.
The Peruvians, with four points and in third position, still have a chance of qualifying, but besides defeating Abel Ferreira's team, they need to overcome a four-goal difference against Cerro Porteño (seven points).
Since they are only fulfilling the schedule, the Portuguese coach opted to rotate the squad, leaving only Estêvão among those who started the last game (2-0 against Flamengo, in the Brasileirão).

Owen Farrell summoned by Lions after Elliot Daly ruled out of tour by broken arm
SYDNEY (AP) — Former England captain Owen Farrell was summoned by the British and Irish Lions to replace Elliot Daly on the tour of Australia on Thursday. Daly broke his left forearm on Wednesday in the 52-12 win over the Queensland Reds in Brisbane. 'It is heartbreaking for the group that Elliot's tour is over,' Lions coach Andy Farrell said in a statement. 'He is a Lions legend who has added so much to the group on and off the field over the past few weeks and over the course of three tours. 'Owen will now come in and add to our options and bring his own Lions experience to the group.' Owen Farrell will join his fourth tour, having played 18 times for the Lions, including six tests across 2013, 2017 and 2021. However, he hasn't played an international since leading England at the 2023 Rugby World Cup, after which he took a break from test rugby. He earned 112 England caps and is the team's all-time points record-holder. Owen Farrell also hasn't played any rugby in two months. He was concussed on May 4 while playing for Racing 92 in his last game for the French Top 14 side. He recently signed a new deal to return to his old English club Saracens. ___ AP rugby:
