Lucas and Arboleda back as São Paulo train, Dorival tests XI | OneFootball

São Paulo began the training week with a morning session this Monday (29) at the Barra Funda Training Center, ahead of Brazil’s dramatic 2-1 win over Japan at the World Cup, which secured qualification for the round of 16.

Tricolor’s work started with mobility exercises to warm up the squad players.

Next, coach Dorival Júnior and his assistants proposed a ball-possession drill and an 11-v-11 game in a reduced space for the players, testing different lineups. Finally, the São Paulo squad did additional technical drills specific to each position. Watch the training highlights in the video below.

One player who appeared at the training center during his delicate recovery stage after surgery was attacking midfielder Lucas, who is still only doing physiotherapy work. Another player recorded by the club after being reintegrated into the group was center-back Arboleda. He had also already appeared in photos from the training match against Juventus on Saturday (27). On social media, however, the Ecuadorian’s image was not shared to avoid the anger of supporters, most of whom did not approve of his return.

This Tuesday (30), activities will take place in two sessions at Barra Funda, stepping up preparations for the return to matches next month.
