With 11 absentees, Palmeiras continue preparations for Brasileirão return | OneFootball

Palmeiras continued preparations with 11 players absent. They resume the Campeonato Brasileiro against Bahia on 8 October at Nubank Parque, 21:30 Brasília time.

According to Nosso Palestra, the squad reconvened after four days off and kept working through the FIFA window.

On Saturday, the session focused on technical drills, first 10x10 then 11x11. Academy players were involved to bolster numbers.

Gustavo Gómez, Ramón Sosa, Mauricio, Emi Martínez, Piquerez, Arias, Flaco López and Giay are away with senior national teams for friendlies. Kauan Lima, Erick Belé and Heittor are with the national under-20s.

Forward Paulinho continued recovery from a right adductor longus tendon injury, completing work indoors and on the pitch under the medical and performance staff.

The expectation at Palmeiras is that the number 10 could be available to Abel Ferreira for the next fixture.
