Tricolor start work for decisive Juventude Copa do Brasil tie | OneFootball

After last weekend’s Majestoso in the Brazilian Championship, Tricolor got back to work this Monday (11) for the decisive clash against Juventude, which will be played next Wednesday (13), at 7 p.m., at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, in the second leg of the fifth round.

The squad’s return at SuperCT was split into two groups: the starters from the derby did recovery work, while the rest trained on the pitch. After warming up and doing an additional possession drill, this group played a small-sided game between two teams.

The morning also brought updates involving some players who are recovering.

Midfielder Pablo Maia, who underwent surgery on April 10 to repair fractures to his nose and face, took part in training with the group after working with the fitness staff in recent days.

Right-back Lucas Ramon (left calf injury) and center-back Rafael Toloi (pain in his left calf) did field exercises with the physiotherapy staff, while Argentine Alan Franco also ran on the pitch under the physiotherapists’ supervision.

This Tuesday (12), São Paulo will wrap up preparations before traveling to Caxias do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul. After a 1-0 win in the first leg at MorumBIS, with a goal from Luciano, Tricolor earned the right to play for a draw to advance in the Copa do Brasil.
