Bobadilla booked, will miss São Paulo’s clash with Vitória | OneFootball

Damián Bobadilla is a confirmed absence for São Paulo's last game of the season, next Sunday, against Vitória, at 4 PM (Brasília time), at Barradão, in Salvador, for the 38th round of the Brazilian Championship.

The Paraguayan midfielder received his third yellow card this Wednesday, in the 3-0 victory over Internacional, at Vila Belmiro, and will have to serve an automatic suspension in the final round of the Brasileirão.

Without Bobadilla, coach Hernán Crespo is expected to field Alisson or Pablo Maia to face Vitória.

Other players who might be absent for São Paulo against Vitória are Alan Franco, who was substituted this Wednesday with pain in his right knee, and Luciano, who also felt discomfort.

São Paulo is currently in eighth place in the Brasileirão, with 51 points, and could secure a spot in the Pre-Libertadores if they finish in this position and Cruzeiro or Fluminense wins the Copa do Brasil.

Meanwhile, Vitória will enter the field in the last round in the relegation zone and will need a combination of results to remain in the Série A of the Brazilian Championship.
