Flaco López resumes Palmeiras training after World Cup run
Flaco López returned to Palmeiras' training sessions on Monday, after taking part in Argentina’s campaign at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The Argentine forward featured in matches against Jordan and Switzerland, and in the quarter‑finals he supplied the assist for Julián Álvarez’s overtime winner against Switzerland.
Argentina finished as runner‑up, losing 1‑0 to Spain in the final, and López became the first foreign player in Palmeiras’ history to appear in a World Cup final. Back with the club, he is now available for selection as Palmeiras, currently top of Brazil’s Serie A with 44 points, prepares for its next league match against Vitória following a 2‑1 defeat to Atlético‑MG.
