Emiliano Martinez and Piqueres returned to Palmeiras after competing in the World Cup with Uruguay and trained on the field at the Football Academy. Globo.com reports that both have returned to the group.
The Uruguayans have not yet undergone clinical, cardiac, biomechanical and strength testing, but returned without any physical problems. The assessment will be carried out in the coming days.
The club are also awaiting the return of the Paraguayan trio after the team’s exit from France on Saturday. Gustavo Gomez, Mauricio and Sosa are expected to rest briefly before returning to the team.
Flaco Lopez and Arias are still competing in the World Cup along with Argentina and Colombia. Both play on Tuesday and could meet in the quarter-finals if they beat Egypt and Switzerland respectively.
Monday morning training began with passes, ball releases and finishing drills. The coaches then divided the field into sectors to work on defense. On Sunday the team rested.
As in recent days, Vitor Roque took part in the warm-up and part of the work with the group. His recovery from ankle surgery is ahead of schedule, which is encouraging for Palmeiras.
Palmeiras will train in two shifts on Tuesday. Their next match will take place on July 22 against Coritiba in the 19th round of the Brazilian Championship and will start at 19:30. in Couto Pereira.
