Gustavo Gómez and Alexander Barboza train separately and are doubts for Internacional | OneFootball

Palmeiras host Internacional on Sunday, but centre-backs Gustavo Gómez and Alexander Barboza trained separately and are doubts for the fixture. The Brasileirão leaders play at Nubank Parque at 16:00 Brasília time in round 22.

According to Nosso Palestra, the squad resumed work on Thursday morning at the Academia de Futebol after clinching a 19th Copa do Brasil quarter-final spot.

Players involved in the victory over Fortaleza in Cuiabá followed a recovery programme in treatment and weights rooms. The remaining group worked on the pitch with drills covering build-up play, crossing, finishing and small-sided games.

Gómez is continuing his recovery from a right thigh injury, completing on-pitch work under the health and performance staff. Barboza, spared against Fortaleza due to a foot trauma, also trained apart from the group and remains under observation.

Palmeiras arrive in strong league form, with 47 points from 21 matches, their best campaign of the points era. At home since last July’s return from the FIFA Club World Cup, they have 17 wins, six draws and one defeat across Nubank Parque and Arena Crefisa Barueri.
