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

After the 1-1 draw with Santos on the night of last Wednesday (4), at Vila Belmiro, for the Brazilian Championship, the São Paulo squad returned on the morning of this Thursday (5) at the Barra Funda training center and trained with an eye on the next challenge of the season: against Primavera on Saturday (7), 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 returning: the starters did regenerative exercises indoors, while the rest worked on the field.

The field activities began with muscle strengthening exercises and the warm-up process led by the physical preparation team.

Subsequently, the players improved their skills with a technical training session, which included crosses and finishes.

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

The 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, remained indoors at the training center for treatment.

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

The expectation is for the debut of right-back Lucas Ramon. The new reinforcement, who came from Mirassol, was cleared in the CBF's BID and, as he had already been training routinely at the interior club, is in good physical condition.

São Paulo is likely to face Primavera probably formed with 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 (6), the Tricolor will finalize the adjustments before hosting the team from Indaiatuba (SP) for the State Championship.
