According to Globo Esporte Futebol, Palmeiras' attacking midfielder Paulinho is recovering from a muscular injury in his right thigh. The 31-year-old is undergoing physical therapy exercises at the Academia de Futebol, but it's unlikely he'll be included in the starting lineup for the return match against Cerro Porteño. This is not the only injury concern for the team, as Khellven is also recovering from an injury and worked on the field.
The positive news is that Bruno Fuchs, the team's centre-back, has trained without restrictions for the first time since his appendix surgery. However, Jefté, the left-back, is still undergoing recovery from knee surgery. The team's return to training after the 1-1 draw against Cerro Porteño was marked by a mix of physical therapy and tactical training.
Palmeiras will have only one more activity before the next match against Fluminense, which takes place on Saturday at 16:30 at the Maracanã Stadium.
