Palmeiras squad given time off, back in training on Monday | OneFootball

The Palmeiras squad got Sunday off after completing the first stage of preparation for the match against Internacional, which takes place next Saturday at 6:30 PM (Brasília time), at Allianz Parque, for the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship.

After three days of training, the Verdão's coaching staff decided to give their players a rest before starting the second period of work, starting this Monday morning, aiming for the duel with the team from Rio Grande do Sul.

For the beginning of the week, coach Abel Ferreira will have important absences in the squad, as Gustavo Gómez and Ramón Sosa (Paraguay), Piquerez and Emiliano Martínez (Uruguay), and Flaco López (Argentina), were called up to defend their national teams.

The last round of the South American Qualifiers will be played this Tuesday. With the end of international commitments, the expectation is that the players will be available to the coach again from Wednesday.

Among the news, Andreas Pereira, recently signed by the club, was also called up for the Brazilian National Team, after the injury of Kaio Jorge from Cruzeiro. The midfielder has already had his name published in the CBF's BID (Daily Information Bulletin) and is cleared to make his debut in the green and white jersey.

Verdão occupies the third position in the Brasileirão, behind Cruzeiro (44 points) and Flamengo (47), but with the advantage of having two games less than the team from Minas Gerais and one less than the Cariocas.
