São Paulo line-up: Marcos Antonio back v Remo | OneFootball

São Paulo are ready with good news for their final match before the break for the 2026 World Cup. This Saturday (30), at the Barra Funda training center, the squad held their final training session before traveling to Belém, Pará.

Tricolor’s last challenge of the first half of 2026 will be against Remo on Sunday night (31), at 8:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Mangueirão Stadium, in the 18th round of the Brazilian Championship.

Before the work on the pitch this morning, the coaching staff showed a video to the players. Afterwards, the group went out onto the field and did a warm-up with mobility exercises and technical drills under the fitness staff.

With an eye on this weekend’s match, coach Dorival Júnior led tactical work with instructions and different game situations. There were also activities focused on attacking and defensive movement. Finally, the squad worked on set pieces.

After training, the Tricolor delegation began the trip to Belém with some good news: recovered from an injury to his right rectus femoris muscle, Marcos Antonio has been included in the squad again. The No. 8 has taken part normally in the last few training sessions and is available, but is not guaranteed a starting spot. Cauly also trained normally during the week, but remains out as he continues his physical conditioning, as the club reported.

A likely São Paulo lineup for the final match before the World Cup should be: Rafael, Lucas Ramon, Rafael Tolói (Osorio), Alan Franco and Enzo Díaz; Pablo Maia, Danielzinho and André Silva (Marcos Antonio); Artur, Ferreirinha and Calleri.

For the clash against Remo, Dorival will be without Luciano and Wendell, suspended after picking up their third yellow cards, as well as Bobadilla, who has already been released to join up with the Paraguay squad.

São Paulo are seventh in the Brasileirão, with 25 points from 17 matches, while Remo are 19th, in the relegation zone, with 15 points.
