Abel leads final training as Palmeiras prepare to face Santos, XI here | OneFootball

Filled with absences, Palmeiras wrapped up preparations this Friday for the match against Santos. The derby, which takes place during the FIFA international break, is valid for the 13th round and will be held this Saturday at 9:00 PM (Brasília time), at Vila Belmiro, in Santos (SP).

At the Football Academy, coach Abel Ferreira led the team's final training session before the match. The squad carried out positional tactical drills, practiced finishing, and finally, participated in a recreational activity.

Abel awaits Flaco López’s return

Palmeiras is dealing with a series of absences for the match. However, Abel Ferreira may gain an option just hours before the game. Flaco López was on the field for about ten minutes in Argentina's 2-0 win over Angola this Friday. The club chartered a plane to pick up the striker in Luanda and is expected to have him available for Abel for the derby.
