Palmeiras team news, Abel Ferreira facing three absentees for Vasco trip | OneFootball

Palmeiras completed Wednesday training at the Academia de Futebol ahead of Thursday’s trip to Vasco da Gama, kick-off 19h30 at São Januário in the fifth round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. According to Nosso Palestra, Abel Ferreira will be without three players for the game.

As reigning Paulista champions, Verdão arrive in good form and top the league with 10 points. The squad worked on tactics, build-up and small-sided duels, with coaches fine-tuning details to maintain momentum.

In recovery, forward Paulinho trained separately on the grass with academy support players. The No 10 is reconditioning after right-leg surgery and has shown positive progress. The club’s medical coordinator Pedro Pontin said he has been in this phase for about two weeks and still has important stages to complete.

Workload is being controlled and increased in line with clinical evolution, given the complexity of the injury. Paulinho said he now feels very well after a difficult spell in 2025, and is already doing on-field work with gradually rising intensity.

Vitor Roque has begun treatment after a left ankle trauma sustained in the Paulista semi-final. Mauricio stayed indoors due to a left foot wound. Centre-back Murilo sprained his left knee and has a medial collateral ligament injury, he will follow conservative treatment with the club’s health and performance unit.

Probable XI: Carlos Miguel, Khellven, Gustavo Gómez, Bruno Fuchs, Piquerez, Marlon Freitas, Andreas Pereira, Felipe Anderson, Jhon Arias, Ramón Sosa and Flaco López.
