Palmeiras back in training without Sosa, prepping for Sport | OneFootball

Palmeiras returned to the Football Academy on Friday morning after securing a spot in the Libertadores quarterfinals with a goalless draw against Universitario-PER at Allianz Parque. In the first leg, the Greens had won 4-0.

Forward Ramón Sosa, released to resolve personal issues, was absent from the activities. The athlete missed the Verdão's Libertadores match due to myalgia. Thus, he is a doubt for the match against Sport, which takes place this Monday, at 7 pm (Brasília time), at Allianz Parque.

Kicking off preparations for the game against Sport, the starters did recovery work and followed a regenerative schedule, while the others played a collective match with two 20-minute halves.

For the 21st round match of the Brasileirão, coach Abel Ferreira lost Aníbal Moreno, who received his third yellow card in the 1-0 win over Botafogo in the last round.

In addition to him, midfielder Raphael Veiga (pubic pain) and forward Paulinho (surgery on his right leg) are also out. Forward Bruno Rodrigues is still in the process of physical transition and is expected to return.

Palmeiras defends an unbeaten streak of seven games in the Brasileirão, with five wins and two draws. With that, they total 39 points and occupy the vice-leadership, behind Flamengo, who has 43. Coach Abel Ferreira will still lead two activities before the match.
