São Paulo squad get time off after Sul-Americana win; see schedule | OneFootball

After the 2-0 win over O’Higgins at Morumbis, São Paulo’s squad was given the day off this Wednesday.

The players will report back to SuperCT on Thursday morning, when preparations begin for the clash with Vasco in the 12th round of the Brazilian Championship. The match will be this Saturday at 6:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at São Januário, in Rio de Janeiro (RJ).

In other words, coach Roger Machado will have two training sessions to set up the team for the match against the Giant of the Hill.

At the moment, São Paulo sit in third place with 20 points, the same total as second-placed Flamengo. The Tricolor are chasing leaders Palmeiras, who have scored six more goals.

For the match against Vasco, Roger Machado has a long list of absences. In addition to Lucas Ramon, sent off against Vitória, and Rafael Tolói, who picked up his third yellow card, the coach will also be without some players who are in the medical department.

Lucas Moura (rib fracture) and Pablo Maia (fractures to facial bones and nose) are confirmed absentees. Meanwhile, Sabino (muscle overload) is one of São Paulo’s doubts. However, the Tricolor’s main concern could be Marcos Antônio, who felt pain in the first half against O’Higgins.

Check out São Paulo’s schedule:

4/15 – Wednesday: day off 4/16 – Thursday: return and training at SuperCT, at 10 a.m. 4/17 – Friday: return and training at SuperCT, at 3 p.m.; trip to Rio de Janeiro at night 4/18 – Saturday: match against Vasco at São Januário; return to São Paulo after the game
