São Paulo: Luciano trains after scare, likely to be rested by Crespo | OneFootball

With forward Luciano present at training this Friday (6th) at CT da Barra Funda, São Paulo wrapped up preparations to face Primavera for the first time in the clubs’ history: the unprecedented clash will take place this Saturday (7th) at 8:30 PM (Brasília time) at Morumbi, for the seventh round of the Campeonato Paulista.

The number 10, who left the derby against Santos with pain in the back of his right thigh last Wednesday (4th) at Vila Belmiro, during the Campeonato Brasileiro, trained with his teammates this morning after undergoing treatment at Reffis.

The tendency is that after three consecutive matches using the same starting lineup, coach Hernán Crespo will make changes and field a mixed squad. As a result, Luciano is expected to be rested for the match.

There is anticipation for the debut of right-back Lucas Ramon. The new signing, who came from Mirassol, has been cleared in the CBF’s BID and, as he had already been training regularly with the team from the countryside, is in good physical condition.

São Paulo is expected to face Primavera with a probable lineup of Rafael (Carlos Coronel); Ferraresi, Rafael Tolói (Arboleda) and Dória; Lucas Ramon (Cédric Soares), Luan (Pablo Maia), Negrucci (Marcos Antônio), Lucas and Enzo Díaz; Tapia and Calleri (Ferreirinha).

The day of preparation for this weekend’s match began with a warm-up session on the pitch.

Next, the players did physical exercises with the trainers and took part in team drills.

The athletes who showed greater fatigue after Wednesday’s derby did additional recovery work with the fitness staff.

The clash against Primavera is crucial for São Paulo to keep dreaming of qualifying for the knockout stage of the State Championship. With the win over Santos in the last round, the club is in 11th place, with seven points from six games.
