Vitor Roque trains separately on pitch as Palmeiras return | OneFootball

Palmeiras returned to training on Friday morning at the Academia de Futebol after a 2-1 win over Grêmio on Thursday at Arena Crefisa Barueri in the ninth round of the Brazilian Championship. Vitor Roque trained separately on the pitch, and Abel Ferreira was dealt the absence of Jefté.

The left back suffered a thigh problem.

How did the training session go?

The players who started the last match underwent recovery activities in the recovery and neuroscience department. Meanwhile, the other players went out onto the pitch and initially worked on possession drills with marking stimuli in a reduced space, using eight mini-goals spread across the field.

The goalkeepers, meanwhile, trained saves from medium- and short-range shots and also worked on improving their play with their feet when coming off the line.

What about Vitor Roque?

A doubt for Palmeiras’ upcoming matches, forward Vitor Roque did separate activities on the pitch with the Health and Performance Department. He missed the match against Grêmio and is still being treated for pain in his left ankle, which has been bothering him since the Campeonato Paulista finals.
