According to Nosso Palestra, Abel Ferreira's squad trained on Saturday morning. They face Internacional at Nubank Parque on Sunday, kick-off 16:00, in the 22nd round.

The session began with a video briefing, then moved to tactical drills on shape, movement and in-game adjustments. Set-pieces followed, and preparations ended with a small-sided game.

Gómez, recovering from a right thigh injury, stayed at the Academia de Futebol for field work under the Health and Performance unit's supervision.
