Ferreirinha injury confirmed, São Paulo trio start pitch work on return | OneFootball

After defeating Juventude 2-1 last Sunday (23), São Paulo has already begun preparations for the next match in this final stretch of the Brazilian Championship: against Fluminense, on Thursday (27), at 8:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the 36th round.

This Monday's (24) reappearance divided the squad into two groups at the Barra Funda training center: the players who played longer at Vila Belmiro did regenerative exercises indoors, while the rest worked on the field with Hernán Crespo's coaching staff.

The field training included warm-up activities, a physical-technical circuit, ball possession in a reduced space, and team duels.

Forward Ferreirinha, who was substituted at halftime against Juventude due to pain in the back of his left thigh, underwent an imaging exam on Monday that detected edema in the area. The player has already started recovery at Reffis and will be re-evaluated daily.

Left-back Wendell (partial rupture of the plantar fascia in the left foot) and defenders Rafael Toloi (muscle injury in the hip) and Arboleda (muscle injury in the back of the left thigh) trained with physiotherapy on the field.

Before these three, Calleri, Dinenno, and Rodriguinho had already started the transition last week and are closer, perhaps, to being cleared to face Fluminense.

Before traveling to Rio de Janeiro next Wednesday (26), São Paulo will have two more preparation sessions at the training center.
