Tolói injured, joins São Paulo’s growing casualty list | OneFootball

São Paulo began preparations on Tuesday morning (30) for the match against Fortaleza, for the 26th round of the Brazilian Championship. The match will be played at Castelão, starting at 7:30 pm (Brasília time) on Thursday (2/10).

The players who accumulated the most minutes in the 1-0 defeat to Ceará, at Morumbi, on Monday (29), remained inside the CT Barra Funda for mobility, core, and strength exercises.

The rest went to the field, where they initially performed a circuit guided by physical preparation, focusing on core and plyometrics. Subsequently, there was a finishing activity followed by a game on a reduced field.

The Tricolor will travel to the capital of Ceará on Wednesday afternoon (1), after training in the morning at the CT.

The delegation will not include defender Rafael Tolói, who left the game against Ceará with pain in the posterior region of his left thigh and, after undergoing an imaging exam, a lesion was diagnosed at the site. Arboleda, suspended for the third yellow card, will also not be able to compose the São Paulo defense in this confrontation.

About Tolói, he was substituted just 30 minutes into the first half. The veteran left the field with his hand on the spot where he supposedly felt pain and immediately started treatment with ice on the bench.

According to 'Sportv', the player said he asked to leave the match "as a precaution", but did not feel the affected area "tear". It was only his third game back at the club after spending ten years playing in Italian football.
