Palmeiras trained on the morning of this Tuesday (24th), at the Football Academy, and advanced in their preparations for the match against Fluminense, at 9:30 PM on Wednesday (25th), at Arena Crefisa Barueri, for the fourth round of the Brazilian Championship.

Coach Abel Ferreira and the Portuguese staff led a tactical session with an emphasis on the team's dynamics. Afterwards, the players were divided into teams of seven for small-sided games. The only absence was midfielder Emiliano Martínez, who continued treatment for a left calf injury at the excellence center.

Preparations for the match will only be completed on Wednesday morning, just hours before the game, when Abel will conduct a session focused on set pieces and rehearsed plays.

Palmeiras may take the field with a slightly different lineup from the one that beat Capivariano in the state quarterfinals. The Health and Performance Department is evaluating the players who participated in the decisive match.

The probable Palmeiras lineup for the game against Fluminense is: Carlos Miguel; Khellven (Giay), Gustavo Gómez, Murilo (Bruno Fuchs) and Piquerez; Marlon Freitas, Andreas Pereira (Lucas Evangelista), Allan (Sosa) and Jhon Arias; Flaco López and Vitor Roque.

Hear from Sosa

Forward Ramón Sosa has been one of the standout players in the squad during the 2026 season. In ten matches played this year, the Paraguayan has scored two goals and provided three assists.

“Our team is working very well, just as Abel has been asking. I think we are doing things right, I believe the coach’s ideas are being put into practice. We are training well, playing well, and that’s the most important thing,” he said. “We’ll keep it up, we’re doing well in both the Brasileiro and the Paulista, and we’re going to keep maintaining this level. On a personal note, the truth is I feel very good as well and I’m very happy to be helping the team, and I want to keep going this way,” Sosa added.

Leader of the Brasileirão with seven points from three matches, Verdão faces Fluminense in a direct clash for the top spot – the rival has the same number of points, as do São Paulo and Bahia. With the support of the fans at Arena Crefisa Barueri, the team is unbeaten in eight games, having won six in a row.

“We are focused only on our work, preparing very well for the game, and once again we count on the support of our fans to go after another victory,” declared Sosa.
