Palmeiras welcomed back by fans as they start gearing up to face Grêmio | OneFootball

The Palmeiras returned to the Football Academy on Sunday morning after the goalless draw with Fluminense at Allianz Parque, and began preparations for the match against Grêmio, for the 36th round of the Brazilian Championship. The team trained with the support of fans outside the training center.

How was the return?

The starters from the 0-0 draw against Fluminense underwent regenerative activities at the recovery and neuroscience center, while the rest went to the field and did technical work focusing on play construction, ball exits, movements, and finishes. Some athletes, in the end, further refined crosses and shots.

Bruno Fuchs, Giay, Felipe Anderson, Facundo Torres, and Raphael Veiga, who were brought in during the second half of last Saturday's game, were released earlier.

Reinforcements and absences

For the game against Grêmio, Abel Ferreira will have the return of midfielder Andreas Pereira, who served a suspension in the last round after being sent off against Vitória. On the other hand, defender Murilo received his third yellow card and is out. Thus, Bruno Fuchs is expected to have another chance as a starter in defense.

Medical Department Update

Forward Paulinho and midfielder Lucas Evangelista, who are recovering from surgeries, followed a schedule with the Health and Performance Unit. Meanwhile, Weverton worked with restrictions alongside the other goalkeepers. He is recovering from a fracture in his right hand and remains unavailable.

Fan Support

The Palmeiras fans were present at the training center gate from the beginning of the activities to support the team before the trip for the upcoming commitments. After the training, the Palmeiras delegation left the Academy to thank the fans for their encouragement.

Palmeiras travels to Rio Grande do Sul on Monday and from there will head to Lima, where they will play the Libertadores final against Flamengo.

Palmeiras' Situation in the Brazilian Championship

Without a win in four games in the Brasileirão, Palmeiras is in second place with 70 points. After the last round, they saw Flamengo open up a four-point lead and get closer to the title with three rounds remaining in the competition.
