São Paulo resume training Wednesday for Copa do Brasil tie vs Vasco | OneFootball

The São Paulo squad was given a double break by the coaching staff after defeating Bahia 2-0 last Saturday at Morumbis and training on Sunday at the Barra Funda training center. Thus, the team will return to training this Wednesday, focusing on the match against Vasco.

Coach Hernán Crespo decided to give his players some rest, since the match against the team from Rio will only take place next Sunday, (Brasília time), at São Januário.

For the match, there is hope that Rafael Toloi will be available again, as he participated in last Sunday's training session without restrictions after recovering from a left hamstring injury.
