Palmeiras ready for Paulista opener, probable line-up revealed | OneFootball

The Palmeiras held their last training session this Friday before their debut in the Campeonato Paulista against Portuguesa. At the Football Academy, coach Abel Ferreira led technical and tactical drills focusing on the rival and made adjustments to the team to finalize Verdão's line-up for the State Championship debut.

How was the training?

Abel Ferreira divided the squad into two groups to conduct separate activities involving game construction, triangulations, balance, and finishing, among other offensive and defensive aspects. Finally, the athletes also played games on a reduced field.

Duo advances in recovery

Midfielders Lucas Evangelista and Figueiredo warmed up with the group and worked separately on the field. Both are in the physical transition process after recovering from surgery on the right thigh and right knee, respectively. On Thursday, Figueiredo also worked on the field with the squad.
