Palmeiras get three-day break after derby win; see FIFA break schedule | OneFootball

After defeating São Paulo last Saturday by 1-0, Palmeiras received three days off before starting activities during the FIFA international break. The Verdão squad will report back at the Football Academy on Wednesday.

During this period, the Verdão coaching staff will be without seven players, who have been called up by their respective national teams to play friendlies in preparation for the World Cup. They are Gustavo Gómez, Ramón Sosa and Mauricio (Paraguay), Emiliano Martínez and Piquerez (Uruguay), and Jhon Arias (Colombia).

The club will also try to use this time to recover Vitor Roque. The striker has recently been struggling with pain in his left ankle and started the last two matches on the bench. In addition, this period will also be important for Paulinho to progress in his physical reconditioning process.

Uruguay and Paraguay will play their last friendlies on March 31, while Colombia will take the field for the last time on the 29th.
