Palmeiras is worried about fatigue, and Abel may change the lineup due to attrition | Palm trees

Technical Committee of Palm trees And the Health and Performance Center monitors players’ wear in the midst of a series of games that Abel Ferreira has already rated “crazy.”

After beating Internacional last Sunday, at Allianz Parque, Verdau returned to the field on Wednesday, to visit Ciara, in a late 19th round duel from Brazil.

The Portuguese coach has yet to determine his lineup, and even if he does list the main athletes available, it is not inconceivable that he will remove players who act frequently, to prevent wear and tear from turning into injuries.

In the semi-finals of the Libertadores, against Atlético MG, Verdau had practically the entire team – only Mike and Victor Luis were in the medical department.

Since then, the team has not had a full weeks and has accumulated physical problems. In addition to the recalled Waverton, Gustavo Gomez and Piquerez, Palmeiras has lost important players through injuries, such as Marcos Rocha, Ze Rafael and Danilo, the latter still in transition.

Georgie, having recovered from surgery on his left knee, is now treating a groin injury, while Gabriel Menino has sprained his left ankle and is also out.

“With the crazy games we’ve had, it’s impossible not to have injuries and teams can’t maintain their intensity throughout the match,” Abel said, last week.

Among the starters, Ron is the player who was recently treated for a serious thigh injury and had a defensive role as well, while Gustavo Gomez played after going through a journey with complex logistics returning from the World Cup qualifiers. World 2022.

Luan, Rafael Vega and Dodo, frequent players, are also players the coaching staff seeks to control in minutes.

Even when he doesn’t make changes at first, Abel uses substitutes for that – against Inter, Vega, Dudu and Luiz Adriano in the 25th minute of the second half, and Filipe Melo and Ze Rafael, who are among the most active of the season, aged 35.

In addition to the sequence in the Brazilian League, the club’s concern is leaving the team in conditions closer to ideal in the decision of the Copa Libertadores, on November 27, against Flamengo, in Montevideo, Uruguay.
