With Vitor Roque full-time, Palmeiras continue preparations | OneFootball

Palmeiras continued its preparations for the resumption of the season this Tuesday (14), with training sessions in two periods at the Football Academy. Leading the Brazilian Championship with 41 points, Verdão is making the most of the mid-season break before returning to action next Wednesday (22), when it faces Coritiba at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Couto Pereira, in the 19th round of the competition.

In the morning, the squad began with physical activities focused on strength, power, and speed on the pitch, using sleds as part of the preparation. Next, the players took part in a pressing and marking drill with specific objectives, closing the first part of the day with a technical exercise on a reduced field, in an 11-on-11 match using half the pitch. In total, the session lasted approximately one hour and a half.

In the afternoon, after lunch and rest at the center of excellence, the group was split for position-specific training. Assistant coach Carlos Martinho led a session aimed at defenders, while Vitor Castanheira was in charge of activities for midfielders and forwards. The day ended with another technical training session involving two teams.

Among the latest updates, forward Vitor Roque continued making progress in his physical recovery and took part in the activities full-time for the second consecutive day. Meanwhile, left-back Jefté remained doing indoor work, following the schedule set by the Health and Performance Department.

Palmeiras will train in two periods again this Wednesday (15), continuing its preparation for the decisive stretch of the season. In addition to leading the Brasileirão, the team coached by Abel Ferreira has also qualified for the round of 16 of the CONMEBOL Libertadores and the Copa do Brasil, keeping alive the dream of winning three more titles in 2026.
