São Paulo’s squad reported back on Sunday morning (24), the day after a 1-1 draw with Botafogo at MorumBIS in the Brazilian Championship, and began preparations focused on the final matchday of CONMEBOL Sudamericana Group C. Tricolor will host Boston River (URU) starting at 7 p.m. on Tuesday (26).

The day’s activities began with technical drills, followed by a possession exercise and a small-sided game focused on compactness and build-up play.

Center-back Rafael Toloi and defensive midfielder Marcos Antonio, both in transition after muscle issues, took part in part of the session with their teammates and then carried out individualized exercises with the fitness staff.

Midfielder Cauly, meanwhile, who is dealing with pain in his right adductor, went onto the pitch for exercises supervised by the physiotherapy staff.

The players who logged the most minutes in Saturday’s match (23) did recovery work indoors at SuperCT and then ran on the pitch.

After leaving the match in pain, center-back Sabino (back of the right thigh) and forward Luciano (right calf) remained under treatment and will be reassessed.

São Paulo will have one more training session before facing Boston River (URU). The session will take place on Monday afternoon (25).

Top of Group C with nine points, Tricolor are looking to hold onto first place to secure qualification for the round of 16. Millonarios (COL), with eight points, and O’Higgins (CHI), with seven, are still in contention. Boston River (URU), with three, have no chance of advancing.
