Back at SuperCT, Tricolor begin preparations for Coritiba | OneFootball

After returning from Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia, late on Wednesday afternoon (12), the day after the 1-1 draw with Bolívar (BOL) in La Paz in the first leg of the CONMEBOL Sudamericana round of 16, São Paulo’s squad resumed activities on Thursday morning (13) at SuperCT.

The team is now turning its attention to the clash against Coritiba in the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship, which will be played at MorumBIS starting at 9 p.m. on Saturday (15).

The first sessions of the day brought together the entire group, including forward Artur, who is recovering from pain in his left adductor. The fitness coaches led mobility exercises and technical drills as a warm-up, and then the coaching staff proposed a possession-based activity with a limited number of touches.

After that, Artur joined center-back Rafael Toloi, who is recovering from an injury to the back of his right thigh, for specific fitness work. The players who logged more minutes in Bolivia ran around the pitch and then headed indoors at SuperCT, where they completed their recovery program.

For the players who remained on the field, Dorival Júnior and his assistants set up two-on-one and three-on-two drills, followed by a small-sided game.

Returns

After being held out of activities in recent days, left-back Nicolas returned to training with the group and took part in every stage of the session.

Defensive midfielder Djhordney and attacking midfielder Pedro Ferreira reported back after representing Brazil’s Under-20 national team in two friendlies against Bolivia at Granja Comary. Both started in both matches, which ended with the same score: a 2-0 win for Brazil.
