São Paulo: No Oscar, new signing in as Crespo picks team vs Ceará | OneFootball

With activities this Sunday (28th) at the Barra Funda Training Center, São Paulo concluded their preparations for the match against Ceará, which will be played on Monday night (29th) at 8:00 PM (Brasília time) at Morumbi, valid for the 25th round of the Brazilian Championship.

The day began with physical and warm-up exercises guided by the trainers.

Next, coach Hernán Crespo gathered the players for a tactical drill, 11 against 11, which was then followed by set-piece practice.

There was also a training session featuring a face-off between two teams in a reduced space, as well as frontal finishing drills.

The Tricolor will have the return of right wing-back Cédric Soares, who has recovered from a viral infection. On the other hand, Ferraresi, with an injury to the adductor muscle of his left thigh, will be absent once again.

As a result, Hernán Crespo is expected to field a team similar to the one that faced LDU last Thursday (25th), with only the change of Rigoni, who played as right wing-back, for Cédric.

Oscar took part in part of the training session, when the team worked on set-pieces and finishing. However, the number 8 did not participate in the tactical part or the face-off drills and will not be available for the match against Ceará, thus continuing his physical reconditioning program after suffering fractures in three lumbar vertebrae.

Meanwhile, Lucas, recovered from injury, will be an option on the bench, regaining his best physical condition after being sidelined for so long.

The probable Tricolor lineup to face Ceará should be Rafael; Rafael Tolói, Arboleda and Alan Franco (Sabino); Cédric Soares (Maílton), Pablo Maia, Bobadilla (Marcos Antônio), Rodriguinho (Alisson) and Enzo Díaz; Luciano and Ferreirinha (Dinenno).

São Paulo is currently in seventh place in the Brasileirão, with 35 points from 24 matches.
