Pablo Maia injures ankle, São Paulo hit by another late blow | OneFootball

São Paulo may add another name to its already extensive list of absentees for the final stretch of the Brazilian Championship.

Midfielder Pablo Maia left the 2-2 draw with Flamengo on Wednesday night (5), at Vila Belmiro, limping and needing help to reach the locker room.

According to information released by the club, the player suffered a trauma to his right ankle and will be re-evaluated by doctors this Thursday (6), during the team's reassembly at the Barra Funda training center.

However, it is unlikely that Maia will be fit to face Bragantino in Tricolor's next match in the Brasileirão, at 9 p.m. (Brasília time) this Saturday (8), again in Santos (SP).

For the match against the Carioca opponent tonight, coach Hernán Crespo could not count on no less than ten players who are in the Reffis due to injuries: André Silva, Calleri, Dinenno, Hugo Leonardo, Leandro Mathias, Luan, Oscar, Rodriguinho, Ryan Francisco, and Wendell.

On the other hand, the Tricolor coach saw none of the players on the verge of suspension receive a third yellow card. He will also have Alan Franco and Enzo Díaz returning against Bragantino, as they served their suspension in this game.
