Palmeiras could be boosted for Junior Barranquilla Libertadores showdown | OneFootball

Palmeiras returned to training on Monday after beating Flamengo on Saturday 23, with a potential lift ahead of Thursday’s decisive Conmebol Libertadores meeting with Junior Barranquilla. Ramón Sosa, who had been out with a sprained left ankle, started on-pitch work and took part in ball drills.

According to Nosso Palestra, Bruno Fuchs, Vitor Roque and Benedetti stayed indoors at the club’s training centre, while Piquerez was released to complete his treatment with the Uruguay national team.

Inside the camp, there was a sense that recent cameos have been used well, with an assist seen as the product of daily work. Contributing to a major win was described as gratifying, with credit given to team-mates for a strong display.

The expectation is for a difficult Libertadores tie, yet the belief remains that victory and progression are within reach. Strong backing from the stands is anticipated again on Thursday.
