Andreas back, Maurício fit as Palmeiras gear up for Internacional | OneFootball

On Wednesday morning (10), Palmeiras continued their preparations at the Football Academy for the clash against Internacional, scheduled for Saturday (13), at 6:30 pm, at the Allianz Parque, for the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship. In the first round, in Porto Alegre, the Verdão beat the Gaúcho team 1-0, with a goal from striker Facundo Torres.

How was the training?

The activities started with a technical training using four mini goals on each end line, involving two teams of ten players focusing on marking and approach. This was followed by confrontation exercises at the edge of the area and finishing exercises.

Among the news, left-back Arthur, midfielder Erick Belé, and forward Luighi returned after a training period with the Brazilian U-20 National Team. Midfielder Andreas Pereira, who was with the main Brazil team in Bolivia, also reported back and carried out regenerative movements at the center of excellence. Meanwhile, Uruguayans Piquerez and Emi Martínez, as well as Paraguayans Gustavo Gómez and Sosa, will arrive at the training center later this Wednesday for evaluations by the Health and Performance Core.

Another highlight was the participation of midfielder Mauricio. Recovering from back pain caused by a blow in the 1-1 draw with Corinthians, the number 18 worked full time with the squad, but remains under monitoring.

The green-white group will train again on Thursday (11), at 10 am. In terms of performance, Palmeiras is in great form: they have gained 43 points from the first 20 games of the Brasileirão, the best start in the club's history in the points race. The mark surpasses victorious campaigns of 2016 (39 points), 2018 (36), 2022 (42), and 2023 (37).
