Palmeiras finish prep for Capivariano, likely line-up revealed | OneFootball

The Palmeiras is ready to compete in the quarterfinals of the Paulista Championship against Capivariano. On Friday morning, coach Abel Ferreira led the team's final training session at the Football Academy and, with the reinforcement of Jhon Arias, adjusted the team for the decision.

The coaching staff will still make final adjustments to the squad on Saturday morning and will conduct a light activity on the field. This is a protocol followed at the club before games scheduled for the evening.

How was the training?

After muscle activation at the center of excellence, the players went to the field and participated in a tactical work focusing on strategies and game simulations. In the final part, there were technical movements in reduced dimensions.

And Paulinho?

The forward Paulinho followed a schedule inside the center of excellence and also on the field, under the care of the Health and Performance Center (NSP). The number 10 of Verdão is still recovering from surgery on his right leg. He is progressing well, but the club avoids setting a return date.

🟢⚪ Probable lineup of Palmeiras

Coach Abel Ferreira, who served a suspension in the last round, in the 1-1 draw with Guarani, returns to the sideline. Assistant coach João Martins, on the other hand, will not be on the bench, as he is serving a suspension for the red card received.

Jhon Arias, who trained with the squad during the week, is expected to start on the bench.

The probable lineup of Palmeiras is: Carlos Miguel; Khellven, Gustavo Gómez, Murilo, and Piquerez; Marlon Freitas, Andreas Pereira, Allan, and Mauricio; Vitor Roque and Flaco López. Coach: Abel Ferreira
