Paulinho steps up on-pitch work as Bruno Fuchs returns to full training at Palmeiras | OneFootball

Palmeiras returned to work on Thursday morning at the Academia de Futebol after the 1-1 draw with Cerro Porteño at Nubank Parque, the first leg of the Conmebol Libertadores last 16.

According to Globo.com, Paulinho carried out physiotherapy exercises on the grass as he recovers from a right thigh muscle injury, with the next step being physical transition.

He is unlikely to be included for the return leg in Asunción next Wednesday. Khellven followed the same plan and also worked on the pitch.

Centre-back Bruno Fuchs trained without restrictions for the first time since appendix removal surgery. Left-back Jefté continues his rehabilitation from surgery on his right knee.

Players who featured for more than 45 minutes against Cerro Porteño stayed indoors for recovery work, while the rest took part in a tactical session.

Abel Ferreira has only one more training session before Saturday’s trip to Fluminense at the Maracanã at 16:30, in round 23 of the Campeonato Brasileiro.
