Maurício trains alone as Palmeiras prepare to face Internacional | OneFootball

On the morning of this Friday, at the Football Academy, Palmeiras continued their preparations for the match against Internacional, for the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship.

One player who was not present with the squad this morning was Maurício. The midfielder, who left the game against Corinthians last Sunday with lower back pain after a knock, followed an individualized program separately on the field.

Meanwhile, Raphael Veiga, in physical transition, did the warm-up with the squad and then worked separately on the field under the supervision of the Health and Performance Center.

Due to pubic pain, the number 23 has not played since August 6, in the 2-0 defeat to Corinthians in the second leg of the Copa do Brasil round of 16 at Allianz Parque.

The rest of the players performed technical activities on a reduced field and specific offensive and defensive drills.

Palmeiras was also missing five players who were called up to represent their national teams during this FIFA date. They are: forwards Flaco López (Argentina) and Ramon Sosa (Paraguay), midfielder Emiliano Martínez (Uruguay), left-back Joaquín Piquerez (Uruguay), and defender Gustavo Gómez (Paraguay).
