Palmeiras has received a significant boost with the early return of left-back Arthur. The Palmeiras squad is set to report back on Wednesday (24), but a group of players has already started training at the Football Academy.

What happened?

Arthur has returned from the World Cup break and started working with some of his teammates. He joins six other players who have also reported back ahead of schedule.

Why is this important for Palmeiras?

The large number of players who have returned to training before the scheduled date has a reason. Palmeiras has opened its facilities to players who do not want to conduct remote activities.

Who else reported back?

The list of players who have already reported back to Palmeiras includes: Benedetti, Bruno Fuchs, Felipe Anderson, Jefté, Lucas Evangelista, and Paulinho. Vitor Roque did not have a break during the World Cup pause, as he followed a recovery schedule for ankle surgery.
