Palmeiras draw up different return plans for duo on loan in Portugal | OneFootball

Palmeiras’ squad will report back on the 24th after a vacation period due to the World Cup break. Verdão will have some players returning after being loaned out to other clubs last season.

Palmeiras planning

NOSSO PALESTRA has learned that goalkeeper Kaique, who played for Nacional-POR, will report back normally with his teammates. The Academy graduate is in the coaching staff’s plans, and a deal will only happen if an offer considered excellent for all parties comes in.

On the other hand, center-back Naves is not expected to be present for this return to activities. The defender is not part of Abel Ferreira’s plans and, after turning down an approach from Famalicão, Palmeiras is waiting for new offers to negotiate the player’s departure.

Verdão’s board and the player’s camp believe that negotiations will move forward by the end of June and that the situation will be resolved definitively.

Doctor explains activities

Last Tuesday (16), Dr. Pedro Pontin, Palmeiras’ medical coordinator, explained the physical recovery processes and the work being carried out as the players resume activities.

– Well, after the last match we played, we obviously already had this break period scheduled. In the first part of it, it was agreed with the coaching staff and the board that there would be an actual rest period, because there had been long, long stretches of very demanding games and travel. That naturally brings wear and tear, not only physically but mentally as well. – he said

– So, ideally, these athletes would have a period to rest, travel, spend time with their families, and there would be no kind of schedule. Now, as the return approaches, we are a little over a week away from activities resuming, training activities. We will have a full preseason this time, but even so we understand that some athletes need to be at least minimally fit so that, when they return, they feel less of the impact that training will obviously cause on their bodies. – he explained

– So, some athletes were advised to do activities, including remotely. We also, obviously, made the club’s facilities and the professionals here available to monitor them. We had excellent participation, and a good number of them chose to do the work here on site, while some who are away due to other commitments are doing it with remote monitoring, as we have done on other occasions. – he stated

– We also have some athletes who are still in post-operative recovery, which is the case with Jefté and Vitor Roque. Vitor Roque, already at a more advanced stage of rehabilitation, has shown excellent progress, already doing physiotherapy and some functional work that is important for his recovery process. Jefté is still at an early stage of his post-surgical return. So, we know how important it is for both of them to be here as well, under our care, so that their recovery is the best it can possibly be – he concluded
