Coach Hernán Crespo had a last-minute absence to deal with when setting up São Paulo for the match at 5:30 p.m. (Brasília time) this Sunday (14), against Botafogo, at Morumbi, for the Brazilian Championship.

Winger Ferreirinha, who, given Crespo’s problems in forming the tricolor attack for the match, had a great chance of starting, reported discomfort in the adductor muscle of his left thigh.

The number 11 trained on the field with an adapted workload this afternoon and, by decision of the coaching staff, will be left out of the clash with the team from Rio, working on Sunday at the Barra Funda training center with an eye on the first leg of the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals against LDU next week.

Still among the injured, midfielder Oscar, on his second day of transition with the fitness staff after fracturing three lumbar vertebrae, followed an individualized physical training schedule and also did some ball work alongside youth academy players, still without physical contact.

Defensive midfielder Luiz Gustavo, who is recovering from pulmonary thromboembolism, also took part in this exercise.
