São Paulo to rotate squad v Primavera, Lucas Ramon set for debut | OneFootball

After the 1-1 draw with Santos on Wednesday night (4th) at Vila Belmiro, for the Brazilian Championship, the São Paulo squad returned to training on Thursday morning (5th) at the Barra Funda Training Center, focusing on their next challenge of the season: against Primavera on Saturday (7th), at 8:30 PM (Brasília time), at Morumbi, for the penultimate round of the first phase of the Paulista Championship.

As usual in the days following matches, the players were divided into two groups upon their return: the starters did recovery exercises indoors, while the rest worked on the pitch.

The field activities began with muscle strengthening exercises and the warm-up process led by the fitness staff.

Next, the players improved their skills with a technical training session, which included crosses and finishing drills.

To conclude the morning training, the coaching staff also organized a small-sided match between teams in a reduced space.

Forward Luciano, who left the match with pain in the back of his right thigh, was evaluated in the morning at Reffis and, with a muscle overload in the area, stayed indoors at the training center for treatment.

The tendency is that after three consecutive matches using the same starting lineup, coach Hernán Crespo will make changes and field a mixed squad.

There is anticipation for the debut of right-back Lucas Ramon. The new signing, who came from Mirassol, has been cleared by the CBF's BID and, as he had already been training regularly with the club from the countryside, is in good physical condition.

São Paulo is expected to face Primavera with a probable lineup of Rafael (Carlos Coronel); Ferraresi, Rafael Tolói (Arboleda) and Dória (Sabino); Lucas Ramon (Cédric Soares), Luan (Pablo Maia), Negrucci (Marcos Antônio), Lucas and Wendell (Nicolas); Tapia (Ferreirinha) and Calleri (Lucca).

This Friday (6th), Tricolor will finalize preparations before hosting the team from Indaiatuba (SP) for the State Championship.
