São Paulo wrapped up preparations on Friday morning (14) for the clash against Coritiba, valid for the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship. The match is scheduled for this Saturday (15), at 9 p.m. (Brasília time), at Morumbi.

Activities at the training center began with the screening of a tactical analysis video featuring guidance from the coaching staff.

On the pitch, after warm-up exercises, head coach Dorival Júnior oversaw a tactical session on a reduced field, split into two teams of 11 players, followed by positional training and adjustment routines for set-piece plays.

Updates and medical department

The main piece of news for the match is the return of forward Artur. After missing the last two matches due to pain in the adductor of his left thigh, the player took part normally in activities with the rest of the squad and is once again available for selection.

Meanwhile, forward Lucca was present at the training center to follow his teammates’ movements. Recovering from a fractured jaw resulting from an accident suffered at the beginning of the month, the player remains under medical advice for home rest while awaiting clearance to begin physical transition work.

The clash with Coritiba has taken on a decisive tone for the Tricolor, who need a win to end a run of nine matches without a victory in the Brasileirão.

To bring the poor run to an end, Dorival is expected to line up São Paulo with Rafael; Lucas Ramón, Arboleda, Domingos Duarte and Wendell; Pablo Maia (Newton), Bobadilla, Marcos Antônio and Artur; Luciano and Calleri.
