Tricolor begin preparations for clash with Boca Juniors | OneFootball

São Paulo began preparations on Sunday morning (06) for the clash with Boca Juniors, which takes place next Tuesday (08) at 9:30 p.m. at La Bombonera stadium in Buenos Aires, in the first leg of the CONMEBOL Sudamericana quarterfinals.

After the 2-0 win over Atlético Mineiro on Saturday night (05) at MorumBIS, in the 26th round of the Brazilian Championship, the squad returned to work this morning at SuperCT, already focused on the Argentine side.

The players who featured for most of the match against Atlético Mineiro underwent recovery work indoors, with bike exercises and upper- and lower-body strength training, as well as hydrotherapy and cryotherapy.

The other players began the day in the gym with a fitness session and then went out onto the pitch with head coach Dorival Júnior and his staff for drills on possession, post-loss reaction, quick circulation and pressing, as well as an 11-v-11 small-sided game. These activities also included players from the youth academy.

Forward Victor Sá has recovered from a traumatic sprain in his right ankle and trained normally with the squad this morning. He had been going through a physical conditioning process and taking part in some of the group activities.

Forward Lucca, meanwhile, completed his first full session with his teammates without restrictions. Recovered from a fractured jaw, he remains in physical transition.

Tricolor will train again on Monday morning (07) and travel to Buenos Aires in the afternoon on a chartered Sideral flight.
