In focus: how São Paulo shape up to face Fluminense | OneFootball

Fluminense host São Paulo this Saturday (16) in the 16th round of the Brazilian Championship. The São Paulo Tricolor head into the match against the Warriors Team in a difficult moment this season, coming right after being knocked out of the Copa do Brasil by Juventude and sacking Roger Machado as head coach. São Paulo have already announced Dorival Júnior as the team’s new manager, but he still will not be able to be on the touchline.

The São Paulo Tricolor currently sit in fourth place with 24 points and could move closer to Flu with a win. For the clash, São Paulo will have key absences in attack, as Luciano picked up an injury in the last match and Calleri is suspended. Alan Franco (right adductor strain), Marcos Antônio (right rectus femoris muscle), Rafael Tolói (pain in the left calf), Pablo Maia (regaining fitness after a facial fracture), Maik (ruled out), and Arboleda (ruled out) are also unavailable.
