Palmeiras confirm Jefté injury as squad returns to Football Academy | OneFootball

The Palmeiras returned to training on the morning of this Sunday (11th) at the Football Academy, just hours after their 1-0 victory over Portuguesa at Canindé, in the debut of the 2026 Paulista Championship and the season. The Verdão will take the field again in the classic against Santos on Wednesday (14th) at 7:30 PM, at Arena Crefisa Barueri.

The players who played more than 45 minutes in the match followed the schedule of regenerative work in the weight rooms, recovery, and neuroscience. The rest of the squad conducted a technical training session with positional exercises for play construction, passing options, and a small-sided game simulation activity.

Left-back Jefté, who was substituted at halftime against Lusa, underwent tests that did not reveal any structural injury, only an edema in the right thigh. Forward Vitor Roque suffered a trauma in the training match with Desportivo Brasil last Wednesday (7th), which caused a mild ankle sprain. Therefore, the number 9 has a controlled training load aiming at the long season ahead and worked indoors at the training center.

What's next?

After starting the season with a victory, Verdão faces Santos next Wednesday (14th) at 6:30 PM (Brasília time) at Arena Crefisa Barueri. The game is part of the second round of the first phase of the Paulista Championship.
