São Paulo line-up: Victor Sá ruled out after injury confirmed | OneFootball

A day after being spotted by the press, São Paulo finally confirmed Victor Sá’s injury and provided an update on his condition. According to the Morumbi club, the forward suffered a traumatic sprain to his right ankle.

Last Thursday (20), during preparations for Sunday’s (23) Brazilian Championship clash against Chapecoense, Victor Sá was injured after a challenge with left-back Wendell.

This Friday (21), according to information released by Tricolor, the forward remained receiving treatment indoors at CT da Barra Funda, at Reffis, alongside Bobadilla, who has been sidelined since Tuesday (18) due to pain in his right knee.

Both are expected to miss Sunday’s match, along with center-back Arboleda, who is recovering from swelling in his left adductor and ran on the pitch under the care of the physiotherapy staff this morning.

On the other hand, center-back Rafael Tolói is expected to bolster Tricolor, as he took part in all activities this Friday, just as he had in Thursday’s return to training.

As for preparations for the match against Chapecoense, after showing a video to the players, the coaching staff gathered them on the pitch and began the morning’s adjustments with a warm-up session that included mobility, core work, and possession drills.

Next, the players went through a tactical session with head coach Dorival Júnior and his staff: the training featured attacking movement, an 11-v-11 drill with a defensive emphasis, and set-piece practice.

The likely lineup to face Chapecoense should be Rafael; Lucas Ramón, Domingos Duarte, Sabino and Wendell (Iago); Newton, Danielzinho, Marcos Antônio and Artur; Luciano and Calleri.
