São Paulo hope for Marcos Antônio and Rafael Tolói returns v Boston River | OneFootball

São Paulo’s squad returned to training on Sunday (24) focused on the final round of Group C of the Copa Sudamericana, at 7 p.m. (Brasília time) on Tuesday (26), against Boston River (URU).

The Tricolor need a win to secure first place in the group and direct qualification for the round of 16. And after head coach Dorival Júnior’s appeal to the medical department, there is hope for the return of injured players.

Center-back Rafael Tolói and defensive midfielder Marcos Antonio, both in recovery after muscle problems, took part in part of the session with their teammates and then did individual exercises with the fitness staff.

Midfielder Cauly (pain in the right adductor) went onto the pitch for exercises supervised by the physiotherapy staff.

After leaving last Saturday’s (23) draw with Botafogo in the Brazilian Championship due to pain, center-back Sabino (back of the right thigh) and forward Luciano (right calf) remained under treatment and will be reassessed.

The Tricolor are looking to hold onto their position to secure qualification for the round of 16. Millonarios (COL), with eight points, and O’Higgins (CHI), with seven, are still in the race. Boston River (URU), with three, have no chance of advancing.
