Weverton trains at Palmeiras on holiday, prepares for 2026 pre-season | OneFootball

Goalkeeper Weverton is on vacation from Palmeiras, but he remains active nonetheless. This Sunday, Verdão’s number 21 posted some photos on his social media of his training in the gym and on the field, as he prepares for the 2026 pre-season.

Weverton finished 2025 sidelined for Abel Ferreira after suffering a fracture in his right hand in October. He went on vacation after the end of the season and is expected to be available again at the start of the year.

The goalkeeper had been monitored remotely by the professionals from Palmeiras’ Health and Performance Center and, as revealed by medical coordinator Pedro Pontin, he is already almost completely recovered.

The injury kept Weverton out of the last 14 matches, including the Libertadores final. The player last took the field on October 15, when Verdão thrashed Red Bull Bragantino 5-1 in the Brazilian Championship at Allianz Parque.

The goalkeeper saw Carlos Miguel take his place and perform well. Weverton is under contract with Palmeiras until the end of next season and hopes to return in good shape to compete for the starting spot.

Weverton will report back at the Football Academy on January 4 with the rest of the squad and is preparing for the debut of the Paulista Championship, which will be on the 10th, against Portuguesa, at Canindé, at 8:30 pm (Brasília time).
