Since August, left-back Diego Palácios has played only two games for Karpaty, Ukraine. He has struggled with a series of injuries and physical issues.

Diego Palacios, a 25-year-old Ecuadorian left-back, is set to join the Ukrainian club Karpaty on loan until mid-2026, aligning with the conclusion of the European season. Palacios sustained a serious knee injury during his debut for Corinthians in January of the previous year, which sidelined him for over a year. Although he has since recovered, the current coach, Dorival Júnior, has not included him in the squad, with Palacios having appeared in just three matches in 2025, all part of the Campeonato Paulista. Meu Timão was the first to report on his loan arrangement, a detail that has been confirmed. Palacios' contract with Corinthians extends until December 31, 2027, and his market value is estimated at €2.00 million, according to Transfermarkt.
