With Andreas and Maurício, Palmeiras step up preparations to face Inter | OneFootball

The Palmeiras squad showed up with some news at the Football Academy this Wednesday. With the presence of Maurício, who had been dealing with lower back pain, and Andreas Pereira, who was with the Brazilian National Team, Verdão intensified preparations for the match against Internacional this Saturday, for the Brasileirão.

How the training went

At first, the Palestra squad was divided into two teams of ten to carry out a technical activity, focusing on marking and getting closer. Then, the players did a confrontation activity in front of the box with finishing drills.

Lighter workload

Despite his return, Andreas did not take part in this morning’s training, as he was doing regenerative exercises at the excellence center.

Maurício, on the other hand, worked full-time with the group. The midfielder took a knock in the derby against Corinthians last week and is still following an individualized schedule.

Absences from training

Despite the returns, Palmeiras was missing players who were called up to their respective national teams during this FIFA break. Gustavo Gómez, Sosa, Piquerez, and Emiliano Martínez did not train and are expected to show up throughout Wednesday for physical evaluations.

Return from the U-20 National Team

On the other hand, Arthur, Erick Belé, and Luighi reported and trained normally after joining the Brazil U-20 National Team.
