Chile starter against Peru, Tapia set to rejoin São Paulo this Monday | OneFootball

Gonzalo Tapia is expected to report back to São Paulo this Monday after representing the Chilean national team in the friendly against Peru last Friday in Santiago.

The tricolor forward started for Chile in the match, playing the full 90 minutes and contributing to the 2-1 victory.

Since the Chilean national team will not play a second friendly during this October FIFA window, Tapia is free to return to Brazil and resume training with the São Paulo squad.

Coach Hernán Crespo gave his players the day off this Sunday. Therefore, Tapia will have more time to return to São Paulo after representing the Chilean national team.

The forward, in fact, should be the only São Paulo player called up by their respective national teams to reinforce the squad against Grêmio next Thursday in Porto Alegre, for the Brasileirão.

Bobadilla is with the Paraguayan national team in Asia, where he faced Japan and will play against South Korea next Tuesday. Meanwhile, Nahuel Ferraresi was called up to represent the Venezuelan national team in friendlies against Belize and Argentina in the USA.

Because of the long journey both will have to return to Brazil, the tendency is that Bobadilla and Ferraresi will miss the match against Grêmio, especially since there is a chance they may not even return to São Paulo before the squad departs for Porto Alegre.
