São Paulo return to training Thursday after derby loss and break | OneFootball

São Paulo will return to training on Thursday afternoon at 5 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Barra Funda training center, after the controversial defeat in the derby against Palmeiras and a three-day break granted to the squad by coach Hernán Crespo.

Taking advantage of the October FIFA break, the Tricolor squad had time to clear their heads after the stressful match against Palmeiras, using the free period to recharge their batteries for the final stretch of the season.

The short break may do São Paulo’s players some good, as they are coming off five defeats in their last six games, including elimination from the Libertadores and losses in the derbies against Santos and Palmeiras.

Needing to bounce back as quickly as possible, the Tricolor squad will have a week to prepare for their next fixture of the season, against Grêmio, away from home, next Thursday in Porto Alegre.

The São Paulo Tricolor is currently in eighth place in the Brazilian Championship and is looking to get back to scoring in the competition so as not to let the leaders pull away in the race for a spot in the next Libertadores, the club’s main objective for this last quarter.
