Vitor Roque trains with Palmeiras as return nears, Paulinho joins session | OneFootball

Vitor Roque trained with Palmeiras on Monday morning as attention turned to Sporting Cristal in the Conmebol Libertadores, only hours after a 0-0 draw away to Corinthians at Neo Química Arena.

According to Globo.com, players who featured for more than a half in the derby did recovery work, while the rest trained on the pitch, including Vitor Roque and Paulinho.

Sidelined since 21 March with a left ankle injury, the number nine remains in transition between fitness and technical work, but he completed the full session on the pitch.

Paulinho, in physical reconditioning, also joined the group and took part in most of the work. Arias, absent against Corinthians due to yellow card accumulation, trained.

Palmeiras have two further sessions before facing Sporting Cristal on Thursday at 19:00 Brasília time at Allianz Parque. They seek a first win in the competition after drawing 1-1 away to Junior Barranquilla in their opener.
