Squad return to training for Brasileirão clash with Vasco da Gama | OneFootball

After defeating O’Higgins (CHI) 2-0 last Tuesday (14) at MorumBIS and remaining top of Group C in the CONMEBOL Sudamericana, the São Paulo squad returned this Thursday (16) and trained at SuperCT with their next commitment of the season in mind: now in the Brasileirão, against Vasco da Gama. The match will be played on Saturday (18) at 6:30 p.m. at São Januário, in the 12th round.

This morning’s activities split the players into two groups and brought some updates: the starters in the win over the Chilean side did recovery work indoors and ran on the pitch, while the rest trained on the field alongside Sabino and Paulinho.

The center back worked on his fitness after a strain in his right calf and trained normally with his teammates.

The young forward, in the final stage of his transition after a left knee injury suffered in the Copinha final, took part in part of the session and did additional work with the fitness staff.

Attacking midfielder Lucas was also on the pitch as he recovers from fractures to two ribs. The No. 7 ran under the supervision of the physiotherapy staff.

After the warm-up, the tactical session led by head coach Roger Machado and his coaching staff was long and focused on building out from the back under pressure and creating plays.

On Friday afternoon (17), Tricolor will hold their final tune-up in São Paulo before flying to Rio de Janeiro on a charter flight operated by Sideral.
