After the painful comeback loss to Grêmio, São Paulo’s squad returned to training on Sunday morning (9) at the Barra Funda Training Center, beginning preparations for the first leg against Bolívar in the Copa Sudamericana round of 16. The match is scheduled for next Tuesday (11) at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at the high altitude of La Paz.
After the match in Porto Alegre (RS), the players were split into two groups:
Starters: They carried out recovery and regenerative activities in the indoor facilities of the training center.
Other players and Cotia prospects: The rest of the squad took to the field alongside youth academy players. The session included strength and power stations, possession drills, two-on-three situations, and an 11-v-11 small-sided scrimmage.
Artur’s Medical Status and Travel Schedule
Unavailable for the match against Grêmio due to pain in the adductor of his left thigh, forward Artur began his transition back to fieldwork. He did running drills on the pitch under the supervision of the club’s physiotherapy department.
São Paulo will wrap up its preparations on Monday morning (10), with the final training session in the state capital before the squad travels to Bolivia.
