Palmeiras back after cup win, begin prep for Fluminense clash | OneFootball

This Sunday, after thrashing Capivariano and securing a spot in the semifinals of the Paulista Championship, Palmeiras returned to the Football Academy and began preparations for the match against Fluminense. The game, valid for the fourth round of the Brasileirão, will be on Wednesday at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Arena Barueri.

How was the training?

The athletes who remained on the field for more than 45 minutes underwent recovery and neuroscience work at the recovery center. Meanwhile, the others, reinforced by young players from the youth categories, participated in a technical activity with two teams on the field.

The players who came off the bench against Capivariano, Felipe Anderson, Jhon Arias, Ramón Sosa, and Lucas Evangelista, trained normally throughout the period.

Paulinho follows schedule

Forward Paulinho continued with indoor activities and also on the pitch. The number 10 of Verdão is still recovering from surgery on his right leg. He is progressing well, but the club avoids setting a date for his return.

Palmeiras in the Brasileirão

Verdão is currently the leader of the Brazilian Championship, with seven points from two wins, against Vitória and Internacional, and a draw against Atlético-MG in the national competition's debut.

Palmeiras has the same points as São Paulo, Fluminense, and Bahia, who are just below in the standings. However, they take the first place due to a superior goal difference compared to the others.
