Bad luck for São Paulo: ‘new Ceni’ injured, U20 keeper called up | OneFootball

São Paulo’s night in Porto Alegre (RS), in the clash against Grêmio for the Brazilian Championship, will be anything but easy. Beyond the fullbacks Cédric Soares and Enzo Díaz, who became last-minute absences in the team’s final training session in the capital of São Paulo before the trip, the Tricolor delegation had another issue that went unnoticed.

Also handed over to Reffis for recovery is goalkeeper Leandro Mathias, who has been the third-choice option for the position since Jandrei was loaned to Juventude.

According to ANOTAÇÕES TRICOLORES (learn more about the work by clicking here), Mathias, whose contract runs only until the end of the year and whose future at Morumbi is not assured, complained of muscle discomfort and did not train this week, remaining at Reffis for a strengthening program.

Without him, coach Hernán Crespo brought along with the delegation Felipe Preis, a 19-year-old player who has already made nine appearances for the U-20s this year.

If the youngster is indeed included for the clash with the Gaúchos, it will be the second time he features in a professional match. His ‘debut’ with the first team was against Santos, in last year’s Paulista Championship.
