São Paulo line-up: squad wrap up preparations to face Ceará | OneFootball

The lineup for São Paulo might feature some new faces for the match against Ceará this Monday at 8 PM (Brasília time) at Morumbi, for the 25th round of the Brazilian Championship. This Sunday, the team concluded their preparations for the game under the guidance of coach Hernán Crespo.

Recovered from a virus, Cédric Soares trained normally once again and is expected to be included in the squad, having the opportunity to join the starting team after missing São Paulo's match last Thursday, against LDU, in the Libertadores.

Lucas also trained and is likely to remain on the bench, continuing his process of returning to the field and regaining fitness after recovering from an arthroscopy on his right knee.

Oscar, on the other hand, trained this Sunday but did not participate in the 11-on-11 scrimmage organized by coach Hernán Crespo to simulate game situations. The number 8 of the team is still experiencing some pain and has been avoiding impact activities.

The São Paulo lineup to face Ceará is expected to include: Rafael; Tolói, Arboleda, and Alan Franco; Cédric Soares, Pablo Maia, Bobadilla, Alisson, and Enzo Díaz; Ferreirinha and Luciano.

Ferraresi, with a left adductor injury, and Marcos Antônio, who also felt muscle discomfort on the eve of the match against LDU, are expected to remain out for the game against Ceará in the Brazilian Championship.

In addition to the tactical 11-on-11 work, São Paulo players participated in set-piece exercises, a small-sided game, and a frontal finishing drill.
