Palmeiras’ squad will report back on the 24th after a vacation period due to the World Cup break. Verdão will have back some players who were on loan to other clubs last season.

Palmeiras planning

NOSSO PALESTRA has learned that goalkeeper Kaique, who played for Nacional-POR, will report back normally with his teammates. The Academy graduate is in the coaching staff’s plans, and a deal will only happen if an offer considered excellent for all parties comes in.

On the other hand, center-back Naves is not expected to be present for this return to activities. The defender is not part of Abel Ferreira’s plans and, after turning down an approach from Famalicão, Palmeiras is waiting for new offers to negotiate the player.

Verdão’s board and the player’s camp believe that a deal will move forward by the end of June and that the situation will be resolved definitively.

Doctor explains activities

Last Tuesday (16), Dr. Pedro Pontin, Palmeiras’ medical coordinator, explained the physical recovery processes and the work being carried out as the players return to activities.

– Well, after the last match we played, we already knowingly had this recess period planned. In an initial break, it was agreed together with the coaching staff and board that there would be a proper rest period, because there had been game after game and very demanding travel. That brings natural wear and tear, not only physically but mentally as well. – he said

– So, ideally, these athletes would have a period to rest, travel, spend time with their families, and there would be no kind of schedule. Now, as the return gets closer, we’re just over a week away from activities resuming, fromtraining activities. We will have a full preseason this time, but even so we understand that some athletes need to have their physical condition at least minimally maintained so that, when they return, they feel less of the impact that training will obviously have on their bodies. – he explained

– So, some athletes were instructed to do activities, whether remotely. We obviously offered the club’s facilities and the professionals here to provide follow-up. We had excellent participation, and most of them chose to do the work here on site, while some, who are attending to other commitments, are doing it through remote monitoring, as we have done on other occasions. – he stated

– We also have some athletes who are still in post-operative recovery, which is the case with Jefté and Vitor Roque. Vitor Roque, already in a more advanced stage of rehabilitation, has shown excellent progress in his condition, already doing physiotherapy and some functional work that is important for his recovery process. Jefté is still in an early stage of post-surgical return. So, we know how important it is for both of them to be here as well, under our care, so that their recovery is the best possible – he concluded
