São Paulo line-up: Marcos Antônio a doubt to face LDU | OneFootball

The São Paulo lineup has gained a doubt for this Thursday's decisive match, against LDU, at 7pm (Brasília time), at Morumbis, for the return of the quarterfinals of the Libertadores. Marcos Antônio felt muscle discomfort and partially trained this Wednesday. The information was initially published by ESPN and confirmed by Gazeta Esportiva.

The squad finished their preparation at the CT of Barra Funda and should have some new faces among the related. Despite the problem with Marcos Antônio, Lucas Moura and Oscar have been training without restrictions and should at least be on the bench as options for coach Hernán Crespo.

Lucas Moura has recovered from arthroscopy on his right knee and, although he has participated in few training sessions with the other teammates, he should be available again. The same goes for Oscar, recovered from a fracture in three lumbar vertebrae and who, in fact, has been training longer than the number 7 without restrictions.

The probable lineup of São Paulo to face LDU includes Rafael; Ferraresi, Arboleda and Alan Franco; Cédric Soares, Bobadilla, Pablo Maia, Rodriguinho (Alisson) and Enzo Díaz; Ferreirinha and Luciano.

After losing the first leg, in Quito, Ecuador, by 2 to 0, São Paulo needs to beat LDU by three goals difference to advance to the Libertadores semifinal. A victory by two goals difference takes the decision to penalties.

LDU just needs a draw or even a defeat by one goal difference to advance to the next phase. The winner of the match will face whoever passes from Palmeiras x River Plate.
