Palmeiras back after Libertadores loss, prepping for Atlético-MG | OneFootball

Palmeiras returned to the Football Academy on Monday morning and began preparations for the postponed match of the 34th round of the Brazilian Championship against Atlético-MG, which will take place this Wednesday at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Arena MRV, in Belo Horizonte (MG).

How was the return to training?

The starters from the Libertadores final last Saturday did recovery activities at the recovery and neuroscience center, while the rest of the squad went to the field and performed technical drills in reduced spaces under the guidance of Abel Ferreira's coaching staff.

The Verdão team finished as runners-up after a 1-0 defeat to Flamengo in Lima, Peru.

Palmeiras has a new absence

Coach Abel Ferreira has a new absence for the last games of the year. Attacking midfielder Felipe Anderson suffered a sprain in his left ankle and is not expected to play again this season. The Palmeiras team has only two more games left this year: against Atlético-MG and Ceará, both away, in the Brasileirão.

Thus, the number 7 joins Weverton (fracture in the right hand), Lucas Evangelista (surgery on the right thigh), and Paulinho (surgery on the right leg).

Palmeiras' situation in the Brasileirão

Palmeiras heads into the match against Atlético-MG needing to give an answer to the fans. The team hasn't won in six games, with four losses and two draws. At the moment, they are in second place, with 70 points, five behind Flamengo.
