Newton steps up recovery in another São Paulo session for Santos derby | OneFootball

With progress in midfielder Newton’s clinical condition, São Paulo completed another training session this Tuesday (29) at CT da Barra Funda, focused on the classic against Santos, a rescheduled match from the 21st round of the Brazilian Championship — the clash takes place on Friday (10/02), at 8:00 p.m. (Brasília time), at Morumbi.

The São Paulo squad’s day began with a warm-up and technical drills. Then, the coaching staff organized two activities involving two-against-one and two-against-two situations.

After that, head coach Dorival Júnior and his assistants led tactical work, attacking build-up drills, and set-piece practice. There was also an 11-against-11 match to improve the team’s offensive structure.

Recovering from trauma to his right thigh, Newton began gradual work with his teammates this morning and then continued his transition work with the fitness staff.

For the derby, Dorival already knows he will definitely be without Calleri, suspended after receiving his third yellow card, in addition to some injured players, such as the recently operated Domingos Duarte and Buta.

Bobadilla, however, is hopeful of returning against Santos, as he is already in the final stage of recovery. The Paraguayan and Lucas trained with the squad once again, but the No. 7 is only expected to return against Vitória. After serving automatic suspensions last weekend, Pablo Maia and Osório are guaranteed returns for the coach for the clash against their rival.

On Wednesday morning (30), at the training center, Tricolor will continue its preparations with an eye on the San-São.
