Palmeiras train without key player before Fluminense, likely XI revealed | OneFootball

Palmeiras is ready to face Fluminense in the fourth round of the Brazilian Championship. The Palmeiras squad held another training session on Tuesday morning, and Abel Ferreira fine-tuned the team’s details for the match that will take place this Wednesday at Arena Crefisa Barueri, in Barueri (SP).

For this match, Abel Ferreira has a setback. Midfielder Emiliano Martínez is still undergoing treatment for an injury to his left calf and did not train with the squad once again. In addition to him, forward Paulinho is also out as he recovers from surgery on his right leg.

How was the training session?

On the pitch at the Football Academy, Abel Ferreira and his coaching staff led a tactical session with an emphasis on team dynamics. Afterwards, the players were divided into teams of seven for small-sided matches.

Looking to stay in first place, the coach is expected to keep the core of the starting lineup. Thus, a probable Palmeiras lineup is: Carlos Miguel; Khellven, Gustavo Gómez, Murilo, and Piquerez; Marlon Freitas, Andreas Pereira (Evangelista), Mauricio, and Allan (Arias); Flaco López and Vitor Roque (Sosa).

Palmeiras’ Situation

Palmeiras turns its attention back to the Brazilian Championship after securing a spot in the semifinals of the Paulista Championship. To do so, Verdão thrashed Capivariano 4-0 in a single quarterfinal match last Saturday. In the national competition, Abel Ferreira’s team is defending its unbeaten record and its lead.

With two wins and a draw, Palmeiras has seven points and sits at the top of the table.
