Vitor Roque trains on grass but still a doubt for Palmeiras; likely XI

Palmeiras held another training session on Wednesday morning at the Football Academy and entered the final stretch of preparation for the match against Grêmio, which marks the resumption of the schedule after the FIFA break. As usual, the squad will do a positioning session on the morning of the match.

Forward Vitor Roque worked with the Health and Performance Department in physiotherapy and also on the pitch. He is still recovering from ankle issues that have been bothering him since the finals of the Paulista Championship. As a result, he remains doubtful for the next match.

Midfielder Figueiredo, who has recovered from knee surgery, trained with the group and should soon be an option for Abel Ferreira. On the other hand, forward Paulinho followed an internal schedule and is still unavailable.

How did the training session go?

After muscle activation and physical mobility work, Abel Ferreira’s coaching staff put into practice drills involving aerial balls, marking, and specific plays, both from corners and from wide free kicks. At the end, there was also a lighthearted recreational game.

Among the called-up players, Palmeiras are still awaiting the arrivals of Giay, Flaco López, Mauricio, Gustavo Gómez, and Ramón Sosa. The club will assess the players to determine whether they will be available to Abel or not.

Probable lineup

Carlos Miguel; Khellven, Murilo, Bruno Fuchs (Gustavo Gómez), and Arthur (Jefté); Marlon Freitas, Andreas Pereira, Allan, Felipe Anderson, and Jhon Arias; Mauricio and Flaco López.
