Bruno Rodrigues returns: behind the scenes at Palmeiras celebration | OneFootball

After almost 600 days away from football due to surgeries, forward Bruno Rodrigues returned to play for Palmeiras against Internacional last Saturday (13th) in the Brazilian Championship.

Behind the Scenes

NOSSO PALESTRA found out that the return of number 11 was greatly celebrated by all the athletes, staff, and employees working at Verdão. Everyone involved in the daily life of the Football Academy was eager for Bruno to be able to take the field again.

For Bruno Rodrigues, the anticipation was even greater. Since the end of May, the forward had prepared all the materials to celebrate his comeback. The club, on the other hand, chose to delay the recovery and prepare him for the right moment.

Despite Abel Ferreira's statement that the expectation was for a return only in 2026, the work and planning were always aimed for the end of this season, as indeed happened.

Number 11 was informed on Friday afternoon (12th) that he would be among the 24 selected for the game against Internacional. However, since only 23 athletes could be listed, there was a possibility of being cut.

Bruno was informed on Saturday afternoon that he would be on the bench. The forward was very emotional and was celebrated by everyone in the squad who had witnessed, for almost two years, all his dedication in training and recovery.
