São Paulo start Patryck at full-back, two changes v Cruzeiro, line-ups | OneFootball

The São Paulo team is lined up for the upcoming match against Cruzeiro, valid for the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship. Coach Hernán Crespo, facing the absences, promoted Patryck to the starting lineup and made two other "mandatory" changes to the team, in addition to having gained the reinforcement of Wendell on the bench.

Three changes and return in São Paulo

One of the uncertainties for Crespo in this duel was the left back, as Enzo Díaz is suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards and Wendell was in the medical department. The number 18 has recovered, but starts on the bench. Thus, Patryck was chosen to start the match.

Other two "mandatory" changes by Crespo came in midfield and attack. Rodriguinho takes the place of Marcos Antônio, who has a muscle injury in his left thigh, while André Silva (rupture of the posterior cruciate ligament and strain in the anterior cruciate ligament) gives way to Luciano.

São Paulo is lined up with: Rafael; Ferraresi, Alan Franco and Sabino; Cédric Soares, Pablo Maia, Bobadilla, Rodriguinho and Patryck; Luciano and Ferreiririnha.

The Tricolor will also have the absences of Alisson (hip pain), Lucas (arthroscopy in the right knee), Luiz Gustavo (pulmonary thromboembolism), Calleri (rupture in the anterior cruciate ligament of the left knee), Ryan Francisco (rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament and injury in the meniscus of the left knee), Oscar (fracture in the transverse processes of three lumbar vertebrae) and Arboleda (injury in the rectus femoris muscle of the left leg).

Cruzeiro's Lineup

On the other side, Cruzeiro came with only one change compared to the team that started playing against Atlético-MG in the middle of the week. Christian gave place to Matheus Henrique in midfield. The rest of the team is the same. New reinforcement, Sinisterra starts on the bench.

Cruzeiro's lineup has: Cássio; William, Fabrício Bruno, Villalba and Kaiki; Lucas Romero, Lucas Silva, Matheus Henrique and Matheus Pereira; Wanderson and Kaio Jorge.

The Fox has the absences of Fagner and Janderson, both handed over to the medical department.

Cruzeiro and São Paulo will face off shortly, at 9pm (Brasília time) this Saturday, at Mineirão, for the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship.
