Roque Junior returns home

Former Leeds defender Roque Junior has put an end to his globetrotting and has found his way back to his homeland, to the club where he made a name for himself. Wanderlei Luxemburgo’s Palmeiras will have the veteran stoppers services for their last 13 games of the season as they look to apply major pressure on leaders Gremio having reduced the deficit to 3 points with a great win away at Cruzeiro.

As one veteran returns to Brazil, two legends of the selecao are soon to be seen flexing their mature legs in the Far East. Romario and Bebeto, two of Brazil’s most celebrated players are due to join a ‘classic’ brazil XI as the Vice Chairman of Ho Chi Minh’s football federation, is trying to do a deal to bring a team including former members of the Brazilian squad over to south-east Asia.
