After the warm-up, coach Abel Ferreira led a positional tactical training session, with emphasis on specific movements. For the match in the South, Palmeiras will have an important return. Midfielder Andreas Pereira, who was suspended against Fluminense, is available again.

On the other hand, Palmeiras will also have a significant absence in the match against Grêmio. Defender Murilo received his third yellow card against Fluminense and will serve an automatic suspension. In addition to the defender, Abel Ferreira continues to be without the already known absences of midfielder Lucas Evangelista (right thigh surgery), forward Paulinho (right leg surgery), and goalkeeper Weverton (physical transition).

And what about Palmeiras’ lineup?

Although most of the squad is available, it is unlikely that Abel Ferreira will field all the starters against Grêmio, due to the Libertadores final, which takes place this Saturday at 6 PM (Brasília time) at the Estadio Monumental in Lima, Peru. Palmeiras will face Flamengo, replaying the 2021 final.

In addition to the continental tournament final, Palmeiras may also rotate the squad for another reason. Abel Ferreira adopted a stance of “giving up” on the Brasileirão after the draw with Fluminense, since Palmeiras fell four points behind leaders Flamengo, so it would not be a surprise if he mixes up the team that takes the field this Tuesday.

Palmeiras has not won in the Brazilian Championship for four matches: they are coming off two draws and two defeats, against Fluminense and Vitória (0-0 in both), Santos (1-0), and Mirassol (2-1). Verdão, therefore, is trying to get back to winning ways to stay in the title race. At the moment, Abel Ferreira’s team is in second place with 70 points—four behind leaders Flamengo.
