Palmeiras register Jhon Arias for the Campeonato Paulista | OneFootball

After being registered with the BID last Tuesday, the Colombian midfielder Jhon Arias was registered for the Paulistão on Wednesday afternoon. Now, Abel Ferreira's team awaits the midfielder's arrival at the Football Academy to begin working with his teammates and, finally, to make his debut for the club with which he has signed until December 2029.

The second reinforcement for Verdão this season will present himself to Palmeiras as soon as he completes his move from England to Brazil. Already registered for both competitions, Arias can make his debut at any moment for Abel Ferreira's team.

However, it is unlikely that Arias will debut this week. The player will have a long journey from England to Brazil and will be lacking match fitness, missing the next two games. Arias is expected to be absent against Internacional, this Thursday, in the Brasileirão, and against Guarani, in the last round of the Paulista.
