Pablo Maia injured, São Paulo hit by another late setback | OneFootball

São Paulo may add yet another name to its already long list of absentees for the final stretch of the Brazilian Championship.

Midfielder Pablo Maia left the 2-2 draw with Flamengo on Wednesday night (5) at Vila Belmiro limping and needing help to get to the locker room.

According to information released by the club, the player suffered trauma to his right ankle and will be re-evaluated by the medical staff this Thursday (6), when the squad returns to training at CT da Barra Funda.

However, it is unlikely that Maia will be fit to face Bragantino in Tricolor’s next Brasileirão match, at 9 p.m. (Brasília time) this Saturday (8), again in Santos (SP).

For tonight’s match against the team from Rio, coach Hernán Crespo was unable to count on no fewer than ten players who are out injured and in Reffis: André Silva, Calleri, Dinenno, Hugo Leonardo, Leandro Mathias, Luan, Oscar, Rodriguinho, Ryan Francisco, and Wendell.

On the other hand, the Tricolor coach saw none of the players at risk of suspension pick up a third yellow card. He will also have Alan Franco and Enzo Díaz back for the match against Bragantino, as they served suspensions in this game.
