On the morning of this Tuesday, the Palmeiras squad held their last training session at the Football Academy before the team's debut in the Brazilian Championship, against Atlético-MG this Wednesday at Arena MRV. However, during this morning's activities, coach Abel Ferreira had to deal with the absence of Felipe Anderson, who will not travel with the rest of the delegation to Belo Horizonte.

How the training went

First, the players performed activations and warm-ups at the center of excellence and then went to the field for a session focused on improving play construction, marking, and specific movements.

Subsequently, Abel Ferreira, along with his coaching staff, led technical activities in a reduced space.

Absences

Last Saturday, Felipe Anderson made his season debut after recovering from a sprain in his left ankle. However, this Tuesday, the midfielder felt discomfort in his knee during training and had to undergo tests, which ruled out an injury, but as a precaution, he will be rested for the match against Galo.

In addition to him, Lucas Evangelista and Figueiredo are still in the process of physical transition and will also not be options for Abel Ferreira.

Probable lineup

Thus, the probable lineup for Palmeiras' debut is: Carlos Miguel; Khellven, Gustavo Gómez, Bruno Fuchs, and Piquerez; Allan, Marlon Freitas, Andreas Pereira, and Maurício; Flaco López and Vitor Roque.
