São Paulo’s squad returned to training on the morning of this Sunday (24), the day after a 1-1 draw with Botafogo at MorumBIS in the Brazilian Championship, and began preparations focused on the final round of Group C of the CONMEBOL Sudamericana. Tricolor will host Boston River (URU) starting at 7 p.m. on Tuesday (26).

The day’s activities began with technical drills, followed by a possession exercise and a small-sided game focused on compactness and build-up play.

Center back Rafael Toloi and defensive midfielder Marcos Antonio, both in recovery after muscle issues, took part in part of the training with their teammates and then carried out individualized exercises with the fitness staff.

Midfielder Cauly, meanwhile, who is dealing with pain in his right adductor, went onto the pitch for exercises supervised by the physiotherapy staff.

The players who logged the most minutes in Saturday’s match (23) did recovery exercises inside the SuperCT facilities and a run on the pitch.

After leaving the game in pain, center back Sabino (back of the right thigh) and forward Luciano (right calf) remained under treatment and will be reassessed.

São Paulo will hold one more training session before facing Boston River (URU). The session will take place on Monday afternoon (25).

Leading Group C with nine points, Tricolor is aiming to keep top spot to secure qualification for the round of 16. Millonarios (COL), with eight points, and O’Higgins (CHI), with seven, are still in contention. Boston River (URU), with three, has no chance of advancing.
