Arias and Paulinho train as Palmeiras prepare for Guarani clash | OneFootball

The Palmeiras trained at the Football Academy on Saturday afternoon and completed preparations for Sunday's match in the Paulista Championship. Abel Ferreira welcomed the addition of Jhon Arias, who arrived in Brazil last Friday.

The new number 11 for Verdão trained separately from the squad under the guidance of the physical trainers. Now regularized, he is eagerly anticipating his debut with Palmeiras.

Medical Update

The forward Paulinho continues to make progress in his recovery from surgery on his right leg. Verdão's number 10 worked separately on the field. This week, he underwent control exams at the Football Academy and received positive results. Consequently, number 10 increased his workload both indoors and on the field.

Meanwhile, the attacking midfielder Felipe Anderson continues to advance in his physical transition and participated in the entire training session with the rest of the squad.
