With Lucas back, São Paulo train with focus on Bahia | OneFootball

São Paulo’s squad trained on the morning of this Thursday (30) at SuperCT, focusing on the match against Bahia in the 14th round of the Brazilian Championship, which will be played on Sunday (03) at Cícero de Souza Marques, in Bragança Paulista, starting at 4 p.m.

The players who arrived from Bogotá on Wednesday morning (29), hours after the goalless draw with Millonarios (COL) in the CONMEBOL Sudamericana, reported back this morning and joined the group that had been kept out of the trip.

The players who logged the most minutes in the match played in Colombia did recovery work indoors and a run on the pitch. The others carried out a warm-up under the guidance of the fitness staff, positional tactical drills featuring attacking build-up and finishing, and an 11-v-11 game in a reduced space.

Attacking midfielder Lucas, recovered from fractures to two ribs suffered on March 18, trained alongside his teammates the entire time without restrictions. On Wednesday (29), he had already taken part in all activities with the players who remained in the capital of São Paulo state.

Defensive midfielder Pablo Maia was also on the pitch. He underwent surgery on April 10 to correct fractures to his nose and face and is currently in the fitness rebuilding process.

Meanwhile, center back Rafael Toloi, who left the match against Mirassol with pain in his left calf, remained under treatment at REFFIS Plus.

With 23 points and sitting fourth in the Brasileirão, São Paulo will train again on the morning of this Friday (01), once more at SuperCT.
