Boost for Crespo: key duo return, Calleri trains without issues | OneFootball

The São Paulo squad returned to training this Friday (21), after the defeat to Corinthians, and began preparations for the match against Juventude, which is scheduled for next Sunday (23), at 4 p.m. (Brasília time), at Vila Belmiro, valid for the 35th round of the Brazilian Championship.

The return-to-training activities divided the athletes into two groups at the Barra Funda training center: the players who played the most minutes in the derby did regenerative exercises indoors, while the rest worked on the pitch with the coaching staff.

Defender Ferraresi, midfielder Bobadilla, and forward Tapia, who came on during the match against Corinthians after representing their national teams during the FIFA break, also worked out in the gym.

The on-field training began with a warm-up led by the fitness coaches. Midfielder Marcos Antônio (muscle injury in the back of his left thigh) and striker Dinenno (arthroscopy on his right knee) took part in this first stage and then continued under the care of the fitness staff during their transition.

The group’s training on the pitch also included ball possession exercises and small-sided games between two teams in a reduced space, as well as individual duels, such as one-on-one situations.

Another piece of good news for coach Hernán Crespo was the full participation of forward Calleri throughout the session, as he continues to make excellent progress in his recovery from a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.

On Saturday morning (22), once again at the training center, Tricolor will hold their final session before the match against the team from Caxias do Sul (RS).
