Palmeiras see Paulinho muscle issue as ‘normal’: explained | OneFootball

Forward Paulinho was included in the squad but did not take the field last Sunday (2) in the match against Fortaleza. Coach Abel Ferreira revealed that the player had felt some discomfort during training the day before.

“He didn’t play today because yesterday in training he felt pain in his adductor. He spoke with me and the doctor and said, ‘I want to go. I want to go.’ We took him to the match, but today during the warm-up he still didn’t feel very comfortable. So tomorrow we’ll carry out a new evaluation,” he said.

This Monday, Verdão reported that, after a new evaluation, the player was found to have an injury to the adductor muscle in his right thigh.

Issue seen as ‘normal’ at Palmeiras

NOSSO PALESTRA has learned that the No. 10’s issue is being seen as normal because of his long spell away from the pitch. The player spent about ten months recovering from surgery on the tibia in his right leg.

Sources heard by the report say that the work carried out by the Health and Performance Center in recent weeks, with minute management, was specifically intended to prevent any muscular problems caused by the increased workload in matches and training.

Palmeiras’ initial expectation is that Paulinho will be available again for Abel Ferreira in two to three weeks. The No. 10 will be assessed daily by the club’s staff.
