São Paulo: second most surgeries, player operated every 2 months | OneFootball

Enzo Díaz surprised last week when São Paulo officially confirmed that the left-back is likely out for the remainder of the season after undergoing surgery in Argentina, his home country.

The information highlighted how calamitous the situation is at the Tricolor's Reffis, which currently has 12 players out due to injury and has accumulated a total of 67 cases of players sidelined due to clinical issues throughout the year.

But another statistic within this number draws attention: with Enzo Díaz, the Morumbi club now accumulates seven cases of players who have undergone surgery this season (see all cases below).

In all of Brazilian football this season, São Paulo is only behind another Tricolor: Grêmio, which had eight cases, tied with Corinthians and Internacional, according to the portal ‘Globo Esporte’.

In total, since the beginning of Julio Casares' tenure as president in January 2021, São Paulo has accumulated 28 cases of surgical interventions on its players (see the complete list below). This averages to a new operation every two months.

Despite being alarming, however, the year 2025 is far from leading the inglorious ranking of the current president. In 2023, the Morumbi club had ten athletes sidelined from work after undergoing surgeries. With the crisis laid bare at Reffis, however, who doubts that there isn't enough time to catch up?
