Palmeiras lineup

The Alviverde squad trained on Monday morning (20) and carried out tactical work focused on positioning and attacking and defensive movements. Afterwards, the squad did a technical drill in a reduced-space game and practiced set pieces.

In physical transition after recovering from surgery on his left ankle, forward Vitor Roque took part in training with the group and could be included in the squad.

Palmeiras will be without Flaco López – on vacation after the World Cup – and the duo Allan and Paulinho, suspended by the STJD. The probable lineup against Coritiba is:

Carlos Miguel, Giay, Gustavo Gómez, Murilo, Piquerez, Andreas Pereira, Marlon Freitas, Mauricio, Felipe Anderson, Arias and Ramón Sosa.

Arthur talks about the return of the competitions

Left-back Arthur spoke about the break period and the resumption of the competitions with an eye on winning titles in the second half of the season.

– We’re not really used to having this much time to prepare like this, and I think it was a positive rest both physically and mentally. The preparation days were also interesting because we were able to work on things that we usually can’t in the normal schedule. So, we’re well prepared and focused for the return in the second half of the year – he said

– Coritiba are a very quality team. We watched their match against Santos, which they won 3-0. They have Breno Lopes, whom we know well, and they’re a very interesting and tricky team. We have to pay attention to the details and play our game and, God willing, we’ll come away with the win. The desire to be on the pitch wearing this shirt is always there. Very soon we’ll have all the national team players who were at the World Cup back, only Flaco is still missing now, and the team is very tight-knit and united so we can win titles at the end of the year – he concluded
