Murilo back from injury, looks ahead to Palmeiras v Sport in Copa do Brasil | OneFootball

Palmieras takes to the field this Monday, against Sport, at Allianz Parque, for the 21st round of the Brazilian Championship. Murilo, the Verdão's defender, projected the clash.

The alviverde team arrives confidently after conquering the classification for the quarterfinals of the Libertadores last Thursday. In the Brasileirão, the team seeks to recover the vice-leadership, taken by Cruzeiro on Saturday.

"We achieved the goal of qualifying in 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 goals. 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," said Murilo.

The 28-year-old defender recently recovered from an injury to his left thigh and was a starter in the last two Palmeiras games. He celebrated his quick return.

"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 already able to play again. I'm already helping the group again with victories, which is the most important thing, and now it's time to continue," Murilo stated.

Palmeiras seeks to conquer its third consecutive victory in the competition. The duel against Sport is scheduled for 7 pm (Brasília time)
