Palmeiras: Abel Ferreira has full squad for Brasileirão clash | OneFootball

Palmeiras held another training session on Thursday morning (11) at the Football Academy, preparing for the match against Internacional, scheduled for Saturday (13) at 6:30 PM at Allianz Parque, for the 23rd round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. In the first round, in Porto Alegre, Verdão beat Colorado 1-0, with a goal from forward Facundo Torres.

How was the training?

The session saw the return of all players called up for their national teams – Andreas Pereira, Gustavo Gómez, Sosa, Emi Martínez, Piquerez, and Flaco López – as well as Mauricio and Raphael Veiga, who have recovered from physical issues. With this, coach Abel Ferreira was able to work with his full squad.

After activation at the excellence center and warm-up on the field, the players took part in a technical 11 vs. 11 training session on a reduced pitch, focusing on specific situations and tactical adjustments. Next, exercises were carried out focused on building plays, offensive movements, positioning, and finishing. Forward Paulinho, meanwhile, continued his individualized program with the Health and Performance Center inside the Academy.

Probable lineup

Weverton; Khellven, Gustavo Gómez, Murilo, and Piquerez; Lucas Evangelista (Andreas Pereira), Aníbal Moreno, Mauricio, and Felipe Anderson; Vitor Roque and Flaco López.

Campaign in the Brasileirão

Verdão will train again this Friday (12) at 10 AM, in their last session before the clash with the team from Rio Grande do Sul. The team is enjoying a great phase in the Brasileirão and, in 2025, is recording the best campaign in its history in the points-based format: 43 points earned in the first 20 games. Previously, the record was 42, achieved in 2019 and 2022.

Currently in third place with 43 points, Palmeiras also boasts two important marks: it holds the longest unbeaten run in the championship, with nine games without defeat, and the longest winning streak at home, with four consecutive victories, alongside São Paulo.
