São Paulo wrapped up preparations on Monday afternoon (25) for the match against Boston River (URU), which will be played at Morumbi starting at 7 p.m. (Brasília time) this Tuesday (26) and will close out Group C of the Copa Sudamericana.

After showing a video to the players, the coaching staff oversaw tactical work on the pitch at the Barra Funda training center, with attacking and defensive movements as well as different set-piece situations.

Center back Rafael Tolói took part in every stage of training and is available again after recovering from pain in his left calf.

Defensive midfielder Marcos Antônio and attacking midfielder Cauly worked on the pitch with the fitness staff. Both are in the transition phase after muscle problems.

After leaving the match against Botafogo in pain, center back Sabino (injury to the back of the right thigh) and forward Luciano (right calf injury) remain under treatment and will also not be available for Tuesday’s clash.

Bobadilla is also expected to be out because, with a knee problem, he was released early to report to Paraguay, for whom he will play in the World Cup.

With the confirmed absences, Tricolor is expected to line up with Rafael; Lucas Ramon, Rafael Tolói, Alan Franco and Enzo Díaz; Pablo Maia, Danielzinho and Wendell; Artur, Calleri and Ferreirinha.

Tricolor need a win to secure first place in the group and direct qualification for the round of 16. They have nine points. Millonarios (COL), with eight, and O’Higgins (CHI), with seven, are still in the race. Boston River (URU), with three, have no chance of advancing.
