Medical update: Latest on Andreas and Khellven after River Plate clash | OneFootball

Midfielder Andreas Pereira and right-back Khellven were evaluated by the Health and Performance Center (NSP) on Thursday afternoon (18) after the team returned to training at the Football Academy, following their discomfort during Palmeiras’ 2-1 victory over River Plate this Wednesday (17).

Khellven suffered a knock during the match. He is being closely monitored by the NSP and will undergo a new evaluation on Friday (19), before the next training session.

On the other hand, Andreas Pereira’s situation is not a concern. The number 8 did not need stitches after suffering a knock during a challenge in the second half of the match played in Buenos Aires.

On Wednesday, the players who played more than 45 minutes in Argentina followed a recovery schedule in the gym and in the recovery and neuroscience room. The others went to the pitch for a technical training session focusing on passing and marking options, as well as a small-sided game with two ten-minute halves.

Before the return leg against River, Palmeiras will play in the Brazilian Championship on Saturday (20), at 9 p.m., against Fortaleza at Allianz Parque, for the 24th round of the competition.
