Palmeiras: Figueiredo making progress in recovery after latest surgery | OneFootball

At Palmeiras since 2015, Figueiredo is one of the great promises of the Verdão youth categories. At the beginning of the year, the Academy Graduate was promoted to the professional squad along with Benedetti, Allan, Luighi, and Thalys.

The midfielder made his debut for the main team of Brazil's Greatest Champion on February 6, against Corinthians in the Paulista Championship and was directly involved in the play that resulted in a penalty at the end of the classic.

Progress in recovery

NOSSO PALESTRA reported that the young player has made progress in his recovery in recent days and has started running on the field and light finishing work under the care of the Health and Performance Center. The expectation is that Figueiredo will be fully recovered to participate in the preseason with the squad in 2026.

Victorious at Palmeiras

The midfielder joined the Alviverde in 2015, when he was just nine years old. Since then, he has collected titles and stood out in victorious campaigns. The young player was Paulista champion with the U-11, U-13, U-15, U-17, and U-20 teams, as well as winning the Brazilian Cup and Brazilian U-17 championship twice, in 2022 and 2023.

Three knee surgeries

In September 2022, the young player tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee and was off the field for about nine months. Shortly after his return, the athlete suffered the same injury, this time in his left knee, and had to undergo another surgery.

During the U-20 Libertadores, Figueiredo had to undergo a surgical procedure after injuring the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee.
