Palmeiras returned to training on Wednesday night (24) to begin preparations after a break due to the World Cup pause. The players underwent medical tests and trained on the pitch this Thursday (25).

Marcelo Lomba’s absence

NOSSO PALESTRA has learned that Marcelo Lomba, for personal reasons, was not present for the first training sessions. The player is expected to join Verdão’s squad in the coming days.

In addition to the goalkeeper, the seven players called up for the World Cup, as well as Agustín Giay, who remained with Argentina’s delegation for a few days, were also absent from the activities.

Palmeiras’ planning for goalkeepers

Marcelo Lomba, the immediate backup to Carlos Miguel, is under contract with Palmeiras until the end of 2026 and has been renewing his deal with the club on a yearly basis. There is still no final decision, but at the moment, the tendency is that the No. 14 will not remain at Verdão in 2027.

Kaique, who played for Nacional-POR, reported back as normal with his teammates this Wednesday (24). The Academy graduate is in the coaching staff’s plans, and a transfer will only happen if an offer considered excellent for all parties comes in.

NP reported that goalkeeper Aranha, developed in Alviverde’s youth academy, is in talks with clubs in Portuguese football. Moreirense have shown interest and could move forward in the negotiations. A decision is expected in the coming days.
