Palmeiras back from break with U20s, preparing for the Derby | OneFootball

On the morning of this Thursday, Palmeiras returned to the Football Academy after a break on the previous Wednesday. With the presence of some under-20 players, recently crowned champions of the Brazilian category, the alviverde squad continued the preparation started earlier this week.

In the first session of the day, the players, arranged by stakes and mannequins on the field, improved play constructions and specific movements. Following this, there was a technical and tactical activity of 11 against 11 in reduced dimensions. Left-back Arthur, midfielder Erick Belé, and forward Riquelme Fillipi from the under-20 team completed the movements.

After the activities ended, forward Flaco López received the news of his call-up to the final list of the Argentine National Team for the last commitments of the Qualifiers. The number 42 was greatly celebrated by his teammates and club staff, who congratulated him on the call-up.

For the derby against Corinthians, coach Abel Ferreira will be able to count on a reinforcement in the midfield. Aníbal Moreno served a suspension against Sport and is available for the derby against Corinthians.

On the other hand, Palmeiras continues with the already known absences of Paulinho (right leg surgery), Raphael Veiga (pubic pain), and Bruno Rodrigues (physical transition).

The alviverde squad still has two more training sessions before the Derby. Palmeiras visits Corinthians this Sunday, starting at 6:30 PM (Brasília time), at the Neo Química Arena, for the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship.

In this weekend's derby, Palmeiras faces the rival in search of a victory to stay close to Flamengo, the current leader of Serie A. With 42 points, Verdão is the second-placed team in the tournament, four points behind the Rubro-Negro.
