Palmeiras team news: Vitor Roque works on pitch, Abel has doubts for Grêmio | OneFootball

Palmeiras continued preparations for Grêmio on Thursday 2 at Arena Crefisa Barueri, the ninth round of the Brasileiro. According to Nosso Palestra, the league leaders worked under Abel Ferreira in Wednesday's session.

Midfielder Figueiredo trained with the squad, while forward Paulinho followed an internal programme.

The notable update was Vitor Roque, who worked with the Health and Performance department in physiotherapy and on the pitch. Piquerez, who underwent surgery on Tuesday, has begun treatment.

Mauricio, Sosa, Gustavo Gómez, Emiliano Martínez, Flaco López and Agustín Giay were expected to arrive during the day for assessment. All are doubts for the meeting with Grêmio.

A probable Palmeiras XI was listed as Carlos Miguel, Khellven (Giay), Murilo, Bruno Fuchs, Arthur, Marlon Freitas, Andreas Pereira, Allan, Arias, Flaco López and Ramón Sosa.

Arias said he is happy with his early steps at the club, feels the adaptation has been quick and that a warm welcome has helped. He views the game as demanding after the international break, with little turnaround for returning players, and expects backing at Arena Barueri as the team aim to give their best for an important win.
