The Palmeiras trained on the morning of this Tuesday (02), at the Football Academy, and completed preparations for the match against Atlético-MG, on Wednesday (03), at 9:30 PM, at Arena MRV, in Belo Horizonte (MG), in a postponed game of the 34th round of the Brazilian Championship.

The coaching staff conducted a positional technical-tactical training, with games on a reduced field, and will travel to the capital of Minas Gerais in the afternoon.

Abel Ferreira will have four absences for the match. Besides the already injured Weverton, Lucas Evangelista, and Paulinho, the Verdão will not have Felipe Anderson, who suffered an ankle sprain in the Libertadores final, as well as the suspended Giay, Aníbal Moreno, and Facundo Torres.

A probable Palmeiras lineup includes: Weverton; Khellven, Gustavo Gómez, Murilo, and Piquerez; Bruno Fuchs, Andreas Pereira, Allan, and Sosa (Raphael Veiga or Mauricio); Flaco López and Vitor Roque.

The green-and-white team has 70 points and is five behind the leader Flamengo – besides Galo, the team will also face Ceará on Sunday (7), in Fortaleza (CE). In addition to winning the two remaining games, the team needs Flamengo to earn, at most, one point in the two remaining rounds.

The club finished eight of the last ten editions of the tournament among the top three: four times champion (2016, 2018, 2022, and 2023), twice runner-up (2017 and 2024), and twice in third place (2019 and 2021).
