Andreas Pereira debuts in Palmeiras training, Veiga starts rehab | OneFootball

Palmeiras returned to training on the morning of Thursday (04) at the Football Academy and began preparations for the match against Internacional, which will take place on the 13th at 6:30 p.m. at Allianz Parque, for the Campeonato Brasileiro. The session was marked by two important updates for the Verdão squad: the debut of Andreas Pereira in training and the gradual return of Raphael Veiga, who has begun his physical transition.

How was the training?

Recently signed from Fulham, England, Andreas took part for the first time in a group activity alongside his teammates. The midfielder arrives as one of the main signings to strengthen the creative sector and is already starting to build chemistry under the watchful eye of Abel Ferreira's coaching staff.

After six games sidelined due to pubic pain, Raphael Veiga has started his physical transition and performed separate exercises, supervised by the Health and Performance Center. The expectation is that he will progressively advance in the next training sessions and soon be available again.

With several absences due to call-ups during the FIFA break, Abel led a technical training session on a reduced field. The group performed positional passing drills, movement and ball circulation exercises, as well as specific adjustments for defense and attack.

Current moment in the season

In the Brasileirão, Verdão is enjoying a great moment: 43 points earned in the first 20 rounds, the club's best campaign in the points system era, surpassing the performances of 2019 and 2022. In addition, the team boasts the longest unbeaten streak in the competition (nine games) and is coming off four consecutive home wins.

In the first round, Palmeiras defeated Internacional 1-0 at Beira-Rio, with a goal from Facundo Torres. Now, in front of their fans at Allianz Parque, Abel Ferreira's team seeks to extend their good run and further consolidate their historic campaign.
