Palmeiras get double break before Paulista quarters, see schedule | OneFootball

After the end of the first phase of the Paulista Championship, Palmeiras had its first free week since the beginning of the season. As a result, the squad and coaching staff were given two days off before starting preparations to face Capivariano this Saturday in the quarter-finals of the State Championship.

The Palmeiras delegation will return to the Football Academy this Wednesday and conduct the first training session for the quarter-finals of the Paulistão. They will also train on Thursday and Friday, the day before the match. For this clash, Abel Ferreira is expected to have the reinforcement of attacking midfielder Jhon Arias, who recently joined the club. The new number 11 is adapting to the club and may be an option for the decisive match.

The coaching staff should not face major issues in selecting the team. The Medical Department has only two players: Paulinho (right leg surgery) and Figueiredo (physical transition).

Palmeiras' Situation

Palmeiras advanced to the quarter-finals of the Paulista Championship for the 16th consecutive time. The team, led by coach Abel Ferreira, had a first phase with five wins, one draw, and two losses. Thus, they qualified for the knockout stage in second place, with 16 points earned.
