Palmeiras return to training, gearing up for the São Paulo derby | OneFootball

Palmeiras returned to training on Thursday morning at the Football Academy after their 3-0 victory over Vasco at Allianz Parque, during the 26th round of the Brazilian Championship. Flaco López (twice) and Vitor Roque scored the goals for Palmeiras. The result placed Abel Ferreira's team in second place in the tournament.

The green and white team will have two more days of training before facing São Paulo in a match that takes place this Sunday, starting at 4 PM (Brasília time), at Morumbis, for the 27th round of the Brasileirão.

How was the training?

As usual, the athletes who played more than 45 minutes against Cruzmaltino followed the regenerative schedule in the weight rooms, recovery, and neuroscience areas of the Academy. Meanwhile, the others had a technical training session with specific work in the final third and four-on-four games on a reduced field, starting preparations for the classic.

Palmeiras continues with absences for the Choque-Rei

Palmeiras currently has three players in the Medical Department. They are: Paulinho (surgery on the right leg), Lucas Evangelista (surgery on the right thigh), and Khellven (foot trauma). The first two are confirmed absences for the game.

Khellven is still undergoing treatment for his injury and has not been training with the squad. For now, he follows the recovery schedule with the Health and Performance Center members. The full-back was absent against Bahia and Vasco. As a result, Giay has been filling the position.

Palmeiras' situation in the Brazilian Championship

With the victory over Vasco, Palmeiras took the second place in the Brasileirão, with 52 points earned. Verdão is hoping for Flamengo and Cruzeiro, who face each other this Thursday, to slip up to stay close to the top positions.

Abel Ferreira's team has two games less than Cruzeiro and one less than Flamengo.
