André Silva steps up recovery, begins physical work at São Paulo | OneFootball

The forward André Silva took an important step in recovering from the serious injury he suffered last year. The player has made progress in his treatment and has begun the physical transition process, bringing him closer to returning to the field for São Paulo.

In a photo released by the club on social media, André Silva was seen running on the SuperCT field, already wearing cleats. He was accompanied by the physical trainers. Like the center forward, the tricolor squad returned this Monday to begin preparations for the classic match against Santos.

There is still no official prediction from the club for the forward's return to the field, but the physical transition is usually one of the last stages in the recovery process.

André Silva is recovering from a serious injury to his right knee. The athlete suffered a posterior cruciate ligament injury and a strain in the anterior cruciate ligament. After evaluation by the medical department, the player decided to follow a conservative treatment, without the need for surgery.

The center forward has not played for São Paulo since August of last year, when he was injured during the match against Atlético-MG at Morumbis, in the 21st round of the Brazilian Championship.
