Pablo Maia and Marcos Antônio out for São Paulo v Bragantino | OneFootball

Coach Hernán Crespo will have two new absences in midfield for the match against Red Bull Bragantino this Saturday. As announced by the club this Friday, Pablo Maia and Marcos Antônio suffered injuries last Wednesday, in the game against Flamengo, and will be unavailable for São Paulo.

Substituted at the 32nd minute of the second half of the draw with the team from Rio, due to trauma to his foot, Pablo Maia underwent imaging tests that detected a tendon injury at the site. The player has already begun recovery through clinical treatment and neuromuscular training.

Meanwhile, Marcos Antônio complained of pain in the back of his left thigh and, after tests, was diagnosed with a muscle injury. He has also started clinical treatment with São Paulo’s medical staff.
