Dinenno out for year after surgery, may have played last for São Paulo | OneFootball

The injury curse continues to haunt São Paulo. This Wednesday (22), the club announced that forward Dinenno had to undergo a minor surgical procedure, which might end his time with the Tricolor.

Due to pain in his right knee that kept him out of the last two matches against Grêmio and Mirassol, the Argentinian underwent an arthroscopy to clean the meniscus. The procedure was performed by Dr. Moisés Cohen's team at the Einstein Israelite Hospital.

According to São Paulo, the striker hired for the second half of the season will begin the recovery process at REFFIS Plus in the coming days. Thus, Dinenno is not expected to return for the team's games, which only go until December 7.

The worsening of the injury and the need for surgery might put an end to Juan Dinenno's lackluster stint with the Tricolor. Signed from Cruzeiro in the middle of the year due to the terrible streak of bad luck in the position, having lost Calleri, Ryan Francisco, and André Silva all at once, the striker played only eight games with one goal scored and weak performances.

His contract with São Paulo lasts only until the end of December this year, with automatic renewal only if certain goals are met. These were not disclosed but are far from being achieved for such a clause. As he did not impress and was another emergency situation for the club, he is not expected to stay at Morumbi.

TODAY'S TRAINING

At the Barra Funda training center, the São Paulo squad continued their preparations for the match against Bahia, which will be played next Saturday (25), at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Morumbi, for the Brazilian Championship, and trained this Wednesday (22).

The athletes started the day with muscle strengthening exercises indoors before moving to the field, where they performed the warm-up process with the physical preparation team.

Next, divided into two groups, the players engaged in a ball possession activity and an attack versus defense drill – both in a reduced space.

Finally, a match between two teams concluded the morning training session in preparation for the clash with Bahia. Before the match valid for the 30th round of the Brasileirão, the Tricolor will have two more days of preparation at the training center.
