Wendell and Enzo fit for LDU clash, Ferreirinha trains as usual | OneFootball

After defeating Botafogo at Morumbi by 1-0, in a match valid for the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship, São Paulo began, on the morning of this Monday (15), preparations focused on the first leg against LDU of Ecuador, for the Libertadores quarterfinals.

For the Tricolor players who played at least 45 minutes in Sunday’s match (14), the morning was dedicated to recovery exercises inside the Barra Funda training center.

GOOD NEWS!

Full-backs Wendell and Enzo, who left the match against the team from Rio with pain, joined the group for these recovery activities and did additional work at REFFIS Plus. The former underwent imaging exams that did not detect any muscle injury in his left adductor, while the Argentine suffered a trauma to his left ankle. But nothing that should be a concern for Thursday (18), the day of the away game against the Ecuadorians.

For the rest of the São Paulo squad, coach Hernán Crespo led a training session on a reduced field, which included the participation of youth players from the club’s academy in Cotia.

Forward Ferreirinha, who did not play against Botafogo due to discomfort in his left adductor, took part in all of today’s activities. He is another player expected to be fully fit for the first leg of the Libertadores quarterfinals.

The Tricolor squad will train again on the morning of Tuesday (16) and will travel to Quito, Ecuador, on Wednesday (17) on a chartered Sideral flight. The match at the Rodrigo Paz Delgado stadium will take place on Thursday at 7 p.m. (Brasília time).
