São Paulo: Luciano and Calleri set to start against Grêmio | OneFootball

After defeating Primavera with a comeback 2-1 victory last Saturday (7) at Morumbi, in the Paulista Championship, the São Paulo squad returned on the morning of this Monday (9) at the Barra Funda Training Center and trained with an eye on the next challenge of the season: now for the Brazilian Championship, against Grêmio, at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) on Wednesday (11), again at home.

To start the week, the coaching staff divided the athletes into two groups this morning: the players who played longer against the Indaiatuba (SP) opponent did regenerative exercises indoors, with some of them running on the field, while the rest worked on the pitch.

The day for this second group began with muscle strengthening training led by the physical preparation team. Following that, the players improved their technical skills with a passing and finishing activity.

Next, the athletes formed three teams for matches in a reduced space.

For the clash against the southern rival in the main national club competition, coach Hernán Crespo is expected to field a full-strength team. This means the return of the attacking duo Luciano and Calleri to the starting eleven. Rested in the last two games (the number 10, since the Argentine started against Santos at Vila Belmiro in the last Brasileirão match), both ended up being decisive for São Paulo even coming off the bench.

There is also anticipation for Lucas Ramon's debut in the starting lineup. The right-back entered during the weekend's match and provided the assist for Lucas's goal.

Speaking of Lucas, still seeking better physical form, the idol is doubtful and may remain an option on the bench.

Another change is in defense, where Sabino, rested on Saturday, may reappear in the starting eleven.

The probable lineup for São Paulo should be composed of Rafael; Alan Franco, Arboleda, and Sabino; Lucas Ramon (Maik), Bobadilla (Lucas), Danielzinho, Marcos Antônio, and Enzo Díaz (Wendell); Luciano and Calleri.

This Tuesday (10), the Tricolor will conclude preparations before the Brasileirão match, which will be valid for the third round of the tournament. With one win and one draw in the first two games, undefeated so far, São Paulo occupies the seventh position in the table with four points.
