Monday (25) may bring good or bad news for São Paulo. Everything will depend on the information the club will have in the afternoon, after learning the results of the exams that midfielder Marcos Antônio and striker André Silva will undergo, both substituted with injuries during the victory over Atlético-MG on Sunday night (24), at Morumbi, for the Brazilian Championship.
Marcos Antônio felt discomfort in the posterior muscle of his left thigh and left as a precaution not to aggravate his condition. The player himself asked for the substitution, still in the first half of the match.
Caution is key. The player has already suffered a problem in the same area that kept him out of five games between May and June. And there is great expectation for his name to be among those called up by coach Carlo Ancelotti still this morning for the Brazilian National Team.
At first, his case is not considered serious, since he was walking normally.
Another player who experienced a tense moment during the duel with the miners was striker André Silva. He also asked for substitution during the game, but in the second half, with pain in his right thigh.
The initial assessment is also of something mild, since he walked normally after initial treatment with ice, still on the bench. But like Marcos Antônio, jersey 17 will also undergo exams.
