Jhon Arias returns, Palmeiras await others for Grêmio clash | OneFootball

Palmeiras continued their preparations for the return of the Brazilian Championship this Tuesday (31). Verdão will face Grêmio next Thursday (2) in the ninth round at Arena Crefisa Barueri.

Return at Palmeiras

The squad carried out tactical dynamic drills such as playing out from the back, marking, shifting, pressing mechanisms and building attacking moves, among other fundamentals.

Jhon Arias, after friendlies against France and Colombia, was the new face in training at Palmeiras’ Football Academy. The other call-ups – Gustavo Gómez, Sosa, Mauricio, Emiliano Martínez, Flaco López and Giay – will continue following their national teams’ return schedule and are expected back by Wednesday night (1).

Forward Paulinho and midfielder Figueiredo trained with youth academy players, while fellow forward Vitor Roque, on an individualized schedule, worked at the center of excellence with the Health and Performance Department.

Doubts against Grêmio

Because of travel and matches in a short span of time, the six remaining call-ups will be reassessed by Alviverde’s Health and Performance Department and are doubts for the match against Grêmio.
