Calleri ready for 2026 comeback: "Recovered physically, mentally" | OneFootball

The year is coming to an end, a time for the famous reflections, analyses of what has passed, and, of course, also venting, just as striker Calleri did this Monday (8), the first day of São Paulo’s vacation after the end of the season.

The number 9 was injured back in April this year, when he suffered a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, requiring surgery. He missed 46 games this season and did not return.

On his social media, the Argentine lamented the bad year at the club, but said he is fully recovered and ready to make a comeback in the 2026 season.

“Tricolor fans: This was not the year we were hoping for, many things happened and we were not able to reach the goals we wanted. But as I always say, football goes in cycles and, as the club’s history shows, we will rise again and achieve great things once more,” posted Jonny, who continued.

“Personally, it was a very tough year and I had to go through a serious injury, but in these 7 months I recovered in the best way, both physically and mentally, and I am once again ready to fight in 2026.

Thank you all for your constant support, and I am sure that if we all stay united (Board, Fans, Technical Staff, and Players) we will turn things around, because this group truly deserves it.

ALWAYS SÃO PAULO FUTEBOL CLUBE,” said Calleri through his Instagram.

Calleri had already been participating in all ball work alongside the other players at the Barra Funda training center, with a gradual reduction of restrictions, as well as following a physical conditioning program, as reported by the club.

The recovered striker will follow the same physical preparation program as the other players during the vacation period, with no specific work at Reffis. Thus, he is expected to return at 100% for the squad’s reassembly on January 2.
