How the training went

Upon arrival, the players did warm-up exercises with acceleration drills and changes of direction alongside the physical preparation team.

Next, coach Hernán Crespo conducted a positional tactical training session focused on the Majestoso. Finally, the Argentine manager held an 11-on-11 drill, with one of the teams made up of youth academy players called up to complete Tuesday’s activities.

The São Paulo squad will return this Wednesday for the final session before the derby.

Lineup doubts

For the Majestoso, Crespo will have to make changes to the lineup that played in São Paulo’s last match, against Red Bull Bragantino. Without left-back Enzo Díaz and defender Arboleda, the Argentine coach will need to make adjustments in the defensive sector.

In defense, Rafael Tolói may earn a spot, while Patryck Lanza or Ferririnha are expected to take Enzo Díaz’s place.

In addition, Lucas, who also played against Bragantino, is not expected to be available. Pablo Maia, recovered from a foot injury, and Alisson are the likely replacements for the number seven.
