São Paulo face injury crisis ahead of Majestoso derby, see who’s missing | OneFootball

Coach Hernán Crespo will have problems putting together the lineup for São Paulo in the derby against Corinthians this Thursday. Tricolor has been struggling with injuries and the medical department is crowded on the eve of the Majestoso. Despite the return of Pablo Maia, who recovered from a tendon injury in his foot, the team could have up to 12 absences for the match.

New Absences

Last week, Arboleda and Enzo Díaz were sent to the medical department and will miss São Paulo in the Majestoso. The defender suffered a muscle injury in the back of his left thigh, while the left-back is recovering from surgery to correct an inguinal hernia.

Question Marks

In addition, Lucas suffered from pain in his right knee last week and is still doubtful for the derby. Another player whose presence is not guaranteed is Rodriguinho, who also complained of knee pain.

Other Absences

Still recovering after surgeries to reconstruct the anterior cruciate ligament in the knee, forwards Calleri, André Silva, and Ryan Francisco remain out. Marcos Antônio and Luan are also sidelined with muscle injuries in the left thigh and right adductor, respectively.

Dinenno underwent arthroscopy on his right knee just under a month ago and is in the final stages of recovery. Meanwhile, Wendell is out of action due to a partial tear of the plantar fascia in his left foot.

Lastly, Oscar suffered a vasovagal syncope episode and was discharged from the hospital on Sunday. The midfielder will follow a rest program for the next few days.
