Palmeiras line-up: Verdão wrap up preparations ahead of Sport clash

Palmeiras Palmeiras finalized its preparation for the match against Sport on Sunday morning (24), at the Football Academy, for the match on Monday (25), at 19h (Brasília time), at Allianz Parque, for the 21st round of the Brazilian Championship.

After watching a video made by Abel Ferreira's commission, the players took to the field and performed technical and tactical activities. In the final part, some athletes improved their crosses and finishes.

Striker Ramón Sosa participated in most of the work, while striker Paulinho and midfielder Raphael Veiga followed a schedule with the Health and Performance Nucleus. After the movements, the birthday boy of the day, left-back Piquerez, received the traditional ovation from his teammates – the Uruguayan turns 27 on this Sunday 🎉.

Palmeiras is expected to take to the field with Weverton; Khellven, Gustavo Gómez, Murilo and Piquerez; Emi Martínez, Lucas Evangelista and Felipe Anderson; Maurício, Flaco López and Vitor Roque.

Talk, Murilo

Again available after an injury to his left thigh, defender Murilo spoke about his return to the team. The number 26 shirt has 178 matches and 20 goals with the Palmeiras shirt, with 25 games and two goals in the current season.

“It was a very quick return from the injury I had. I recovered very well with the help of the professionals and the club's structure. It was a complicated injury, but thank God I strengthened myself, including mentally, and I was able to play again. I'm already helping the group with victories, which is the most important thing, and now it's about continuing,” he said.

The defender also projected the duel with the Pernambuco team (in the first round, on April 6, at the rival's home, Palmeiras won 2-1, with penalty goals from left-back Piquerez and striker Flaco López).

“We achieved the goal of qualifying for the Libertadores and now it's time to focus on the Brazilian Championship. We're doing well in the competition, currently in second place, and we're going after our objectives. Sport is a team that bothers us a lot, that visualizes the counter-attack a lot, so we have to be very careful with that. We're connected and prepared to develop great football and a great result,” he analyzed.
