Ferreirinha forced off with injury, new worry for São Paulo | OneFootball

Ferreirinha is the latest headache for coach Hernán Crespo. This Sunday, against Juventude, the player felt discomfort and had to be substituted at halftime by the young Lucca, a product of São Paulo's youth academy.

The club is awaiting the imaging exam, which is expected to be conducted this Monday, to determine Ferreirinha's diagnosis and decide on the athlete's treatment.

Ferreirinha once again played improvised as a left wing-back this Sunday and was one of the highlights of the first half. The first goal for Tricolor even started with him, as he set up Luciano one-on-one with the goalkeeper before Bobadilla took advantage of the rebound to find the back of the net.

If Ferreirinha is not fit to play against Fluminense next Thursday at 8:30 PM (Brasília time) at Maracanã, the young Lucca might get a chance as a starter, given his excellent performance in the second half of the match against Juventude.

It's worth noting that the two main options for the left-back position are out of action. Enzo Díaz underwent surgery to correct an inguinal hernia, while Wendell is treating a partial rupture of the plantar fascia in his left foot.

The only remaining alternative for the left-back position is the young Patryck Lanza, also from the youth academy, but so far he has not convinced coach Hernán Crespo that he can handle the responsibility.
