Questions over Palmeiras

In this Wednesday’s training session led by Abel Ferreira, midfielder Figueiredo trained with the group, while forward Paulinho followed an internal schedule.

The new development was forward Vitor Roque, who worked with the Health and Performance Department in physiotherapy and also on the pitch. Piquerez, who underwent surgery last Tuesday, began treatment.

Probable Palmeiras lineup

Arias comments on adaptation

“I’m happy with what my first steps in a Palmeiras shirt have been so far. I think it has been a very quick adaptation process. I was very well received by my teammates, the coaching staff, the club staff and the fans. That makes things and the connections much easier. I’m focused on always doing my best and giving everything I can to help Palmeiras,” he said.

“It will be a difficult match, one that will demand a lot from us. It’s the first one after the FIFA international break, a more complicated game because there is little time for the players coming back from their national teams. It’s always more demanding, but I know the fans will be at Arena Barueri supporting and encouraging us. We will give our best to get this important win for us,” he added.
