Rafael Tolói injured, São Paulo’s casualty list grows | OneFootball

On Tuesday morning (30), São Paulo began preparations for the match against Fortaleza, for the 26th round of the Brazilian Championship. The match will be held at Castelão, starting at 7:30 PM (Brasília time) on Thursday (10/2).

The players who logged the most minutes in the 1-0 defeat to Ceará at Morumbi on Monday (29) remained inside the Barra Funda training center for mobility, core, and strength exercises.

The others went to the field, where they initially performed a circuit guided by the physical preparation team, focusing on core and plyometrics. Following this, there was a finishing activity followed by a small-sided game.

The Tricolor will travel to the capital of Ceará on Wednesday afternoon (1), after training in the morning at the training center.

The squad will not include defender Rafael Tolói, who left the game against Ceará with pain in the back of his left thigh and, after undergoing an imaging exam, was diagnosed with an injury in the area. Arboleda, suspended due to a third yellow card, will also not be able to join São Paulo's defense in this match.

Regarding Tolói, he was substituted at the 30-minute mark of the first half. The veteran left the field holding the area where he reportedly felt pain and immediately started ice treatment on the bench.

According to ‘Sportv’, the player said he asked to leave the match “as a precaution,” but did not feel the area “tear.” It was only his third game since returning to the club after spending ten years playing in Italian football.
