Short-handed, Vitor Roque indoors as Palmeiras return in Fifa break | OneFootball

Palmeiras returned to training on Wednesday afternoon at the Academia de Futebol after the three days off that followed their 1-0 win over São Paulo in the Brasileirão. Without the players called up and with Vitor Roque doing work indoors at the training center, the green-and-white side began preparations for the match against Grêmio. President Leila Pereira closely followed the session.

Also without head coach Abel Ferreira, who is in Portugal at the start of this FIFA window, the squad carried out a technical session focused on passing, possession, and marking after physical work. Forward Vitor Roque continued his individualized schedule indoors at the center of excellence.

Palmeiras’ No. 9 is trying to get back to full fitness after playing through pain in the Campeonato Paulista final. Vitor Roque started on the bench in Palmeiras’ last two matches and had his minutes managed.

In addition, the group of eight players called up to play friendlies for their national teams was also absent from the field. They are Giay and Flaco López (Argentina), Emiliano Martínez and Piquerez (Uruguay), Gustavo Gómez, Mauricio and Ramón Sosa (Paraguay), and Jhon Arias (Colombia).
