São Paulo line-up: Cleared by BID, Artur set for Inter clash | OneFootball

São Paulo’s squad is already looking forward to resuming its Brazilian Championship campaign. This Monday (30), at the Barra Funda training center, Tricolor began the final stretch of its preparation to face Internacional next Wednesday (4/1), at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Beira-Rio, in the ninth round.

This morning’s activities began with physical stations set up by the fitness coaches. Afterwards, head coach Roger Machado led another tactical session focused on the clash in Porto Alegre (RS).

The training session that opened the week featured attacking movements and build-up play, as well as set-piece practice.

Goalkeeper Coronel, who had a kidney stone episode in February and underwent an additional procedure as part of his treatment, was cleared by the medical department and took part in this morning’s training.

For the match against the team from Rio Grande do Sul, Roger knows he will not be able to count on left-back Enzo Díaz, who is suspended after receiving his third yellow card in the defeat to Palmeiras.

Artur, the new signing who was officially unveiled this afternoon, was cleared in the CBF’s BID and will be included in the squad. The winger had been playing without restrictions at Botafogo and is fit to play.

The match against his former club will mark Roger’s debut with a new tactical setup. The change should also be helped by the absence of Bobadilla, who is not expected to return in time from the FIFA international break, during which he is representing Paraguay.

São Paulo’s likely lineup should be Rafael; Lucas Ramon, Alan Franco, Sabino and Wendell; Danielzinho and Marcos Antônio; Artur, Luciano and Ferreirinha; Calleri.

This Tuesday (31), Tricolor will hold its final training session before traveling to Rio Grande do Sul on a charter flight.
