Palmeiras continue preparations for Campeonato Brasileiro return | OneFootball

Palmeiras trained on Thursday morning at the Academia de Futebol as they step up for Bahia in the Campeonato Brasileiro.

According to Nosso Palestra, the match is set for Thursday 8 October at 21:30 at Nubank Parque, part of the 29th round. Palmeiras are second on 57 points and also remain in the semi-finals of the CONMEBOL Libertadores against Fluminense and the Copa do Brasil against Vasco.

The squad worked in a reduced area with emphasis on combinations, marking, decision-making and passing. That was followed by an 11 v 11 game split into two 25-minute periods.

Forward Paulinho completed exercises inside the Centro de Excelência and further work on the pitch under the supervision of the Núcleo de Saúde e Performance.

With 11 players absent, several Crias da Academia have joined the group during the FIFA international window. Under-20 captain Pimenta described training with the seniors as a valuable experience and said the staff have been supportive.

He noted that Marlon Freitas and Barboza have offered frequent guidance, while Gustavo Gómez is a key reference in his development. Pimenta, from Brasília, joined in 2024 after time at Atlético-MG, Goiás and Ska Brasil, and was part of last season’s Brasileiro Under-20 title-winning side.

Palmeiras will continue working through the international window ahead of their next league match.
