Palmeiras back in training with new faces for Santos derby | OneFootball

On the morning of this Tuesday, Palmeiras returned to training after having Monday off. With new developments, the green and white team began preparations for the classic against Santos, for the 32nd round of the Brazilian Championship. Goalkeeper Weverton worked on the field, while defender Gustavo Gómez and midfielder Allan trained normally.

Palmeiras will host Santos on Thursday night, at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Allianz Parque, in São Paulo (SP).

How was the training?

The players who were starters in the victory over Juventude did a recovery training session in the recovery and neuroscience room, while the rest of the squad went to the field and participated in technical and tactical activities with specific objectives set by Abel Ferreira's coaching staff.

Goalkeeper Weverton was the main new development in this return. Recovering from a fracture in his right hand, the player worked both in the center of excellence and on the field with trainers Rogério Godoy and Thales Damasceno.

Despite making progress in his recovery, the goalkeeper is expected to remain out for the classic against Santos. The club has not announced a return date for the athlete.

Absences and returns

For the classic, Palmeiras will have two important returns. Defender Gustavo Gómez and midfielder Allan, who were rested due to fatigue in the victory against Juventude, trained normally this Tuesday and are back in contention.

On the other hand, Abel will not have midfielder Aníbal Moreno, who is suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards.

Besides Weverton, other known absences are midfielder Lucas Evangelista (right thigh surgery) and forward Paulinho (right leg surgery). Both followed their recovery schedule inside the Football Academy.
