Weverton nearly fit, set to boost Palmeiras in Paulista | OneFootball

Weverton finished the season as an absence for Palmeiras. The goalkeeper suffered a fracture in his right hand in October and became unavailable for Abel Ferreira's team. This Monday, in a video released by TV Palmeiras, the club’s medical coordinator revealed that the player is being monitored remotely by professionals from the Health and Performance Center.

“Another athlete we have been monitoring remotely is Weverton, who also completed a period in which he needed to recover from a hand fracture and is now following a specific training program with the goalkeeper coaching staff. We have seen good progress and he is practically recovered,” said the doctor.

With the season coming to an end, Weverton suffered a fracture in his right hand that kept him out of the last 14 matches, including the Libertadores final. The player last took the field on October 15, when Verdão thrashed Red Bull Bragantino 5-1 in the Brazilian Championship at Allianz Parque.

The goalkeeper saw Carlos Miguel take his place and perform well. Weverton is under contract with Palmeiras until the end of next season and hopes to return in good shape to compete for the starting spot.
