New problem? Victor Sá leaves training pitch hurt after Wendell tackle | OneFootball

São Paulo may have picked up another setback in Thursday morning’s training session (20) at CT da Barra Funda.

During preparations for Sunday’s match (23) against Chapecoense in the Brazilian Championship, forward Victor Sá suffered an injury after a challenge with full-back Wendell and became a concern for the coaching staff, on a day that also marked the return of key players to training.

After the collision on the pitch, Victor Sá complained of severe pain in his right ankle and required immediate medical attention on the field (watch below). The player left the session limping and began applying ice to the area. He will undergo detailed tests in the coming hours to determine the severity of the problem.

Concern over the forward contrasted with the progress reported by the medical department:

Rafael Tolói: Recovered from a strain in his right thigh suffered at the end of July, the center-back trained normally and completed his first full session with the rest of the squad.

Lucca: After suffering a fractured jaw in a car accident at the beginning of the month, the forward returned to training with gym exercises and running around the pitch.

Lucas Moura: He remains in the transition process after a complete rupture of the Achilles tendon in his right leg, doing running work on the field alongside Lucca.

Hugo: A youth academy product seeking to earn his place after recovering from knee surgery (ACL), the defensive midfielder completed the first part of training with the group before finishing the day with individual work.

On the other hand, youngsters Isac, Nicolas and Tete missed the session at the training center in order to follow their scheduled commitments with the youth teams.

Without a win in the Brazilian Championship since coach Dorival Júnior arrived, São Paulo currently sit 13th in the table with 27 points. The team return to action next Sunday (23) at 6:30 p.m. (Brasília time), when they face Chapecoense away from home.
