Vitor Roque back in training, could boost Palmeiras against Santos | OneFootball

With an eye on the derby against Santos, Palmeiras trained on Monday morning at the Academia de Futebol in Barra Funda. Abel Ferreira’s team debuted with a win in the Campeonato Paulista last Saturday, when they beat Portuguesa 1-0, with a goal from Luighi. The highlight of Monday’s training was the presence of Vitor Roque, who trained with the ball and may be available for the match against Peixe. 

Vitor Roque suffered a sprained ankle during a training match against Deportivo Brasil. The injury is considered mild, but it was enough to keep the striker out of the game against Lusa. On Monday, he participated in part of the activity with the group, but also performed individualized exercises separately. 

The rest of the training

The Palmeiras squad carried out tactical work with instructions on balance, circulation, and passing options, in addition to small-sided games with specific objectives set by coach Abel Ferreira’s staff. 

The clash with Santos will be Palmeiras’ first home game of the 2026 season. Due to renovations on the Allianz Parque pitch, the match will be held at Arena Barueri, at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time). Both teams debuted with a win in the Paulistão and have three points on the table.
