Boost for São Paulo: Calleri, Maia, Rodriguinho near return | OneFootball

If São Paulo has suffered heavy losses in recent days, with Oscar hospitalized due to heart problems and Enzo Díaz needing surgery, on the other hand, coach Hernán Crespo at least received some good news when the team returned to training on the morning of Thursday (13th) at the Barra Funda training center, after having a break and using the last two days for cardiac exams.

During this morning's activities, striker Calleri gave another sign that he is recovering well from the surgery he underwent after suffering a rupture of the ligament in his left knee and trained with the squad—with physical contact controlled to avoid collisions with teammates.

In addition to him, midfielders Pablo Maia (tendon injury in his right foot) and Rodriguinho (pain in his right knee) also trained on the field with the physiotherapy team this morning, making progress in their recoveries as well.

If they did physical preparation work on Wednesday (12th), after the exams, this time the athletes started the day with a warm-up session guided by the trainers, who set up a physical circuit on the field.

Next, the coaching staff led a ball possession drill in a reduced space, which was later complemented by a match between two teams in a small-sided game.

This Friday (14th), Tricolor will continue preparations for the derby against Corinthians, which will be the first match after the break in the calendar for the FIFA International Match Window. The game will be played next Thursday, the 20th, at 7:30 pm (Brasília time), in Itaquera, for the 34th round of the Brazilian Championship.
