With a focus on tactical adjustments for the clash with Bragantino, São Paulo’s squad trained this Wednesday (26) at the Barra Funda training center and completed another day of preparation ahead of the match valid for the 25th round of the Brazilian Championship, which will be played this weekend.

The Tricolor’s day began with lower-body strength exercises and physical stations for the players.

After this work with the fitness coaches and a possession drill, the players carried out tactical training with Dorival Júnior and his assistants: this stage of the session was divided into 11-v-11 activities and attacking movements. There was also additional set-piece practice.

Center back Arboleda (swelling in the left adductor) took part in the entire training session alongside his teammates for the first time, while forward Victor Sá (traumatic sprain in the right ankle) completed part of the field activity and continued treatment at REFFIS Plus.

Recovering from a sprain in his left ankle, Argentine striker Calleri followed an individualized schedule, while attacking midfielder Lucca (jaw fracture) ran on the field for the first time since resuming activities at the training center.
