São Paulo train with under-17s ahead of Majestoso due to absences | OneFootball

São Paulo continued on Friday their preparations for the Majestoso next Thursday at Neo Química Arena, at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time), for the Brazilian Championship. Coach Hernán Crespo could not count on several players, either due to medical reasons or call-ups for the FIFA date. The most notable absences were Oscar, who was hospitalized after being diagnosed with Vasovagal Syncope, and Lucas, who is suffering from pain in his right knee.

In the session, which was open to the press, coach Hernán Crespo organized a training match between some starters and the club’s under-17 team. The starting lineup for the professional team was: Young; Maik, Tolói, Negrucci, Sabino, and Patryck; Luiz Gustavo and Alisson, Ferreirinha, Brenno, and Rigoni.

One of the highlights was precisely the young Brenno, who scored one of the goals in the session. During the first part of the training, Portuguese player Cédric was separated and did some sprints on the edge of the field, where former coach Muricy Ramalho was also present.

Absences

Other key players from the squad trained on a different field, among them Calleri, who is returning from injury and aiming for a comeback to the pitch.

Lucas and Pablo Maia stayed indoors. The attacking midfielder felt pain again in his right knee, while the defensive midfielder has slim chances of being present in the Majestoso against Corinthians. Called up for the FIFA date, Ferraresi, Bobadilla, and Gonzalo Tapia were also absent.

São Paulo is currently in eighth place in the Brazilian Championship, with 45 points from 33 games. The main goal for Tricolor in the competition is to secure a spot in the Pre-Libertadores.
