After qualifying for the quarter-finals of the Paulistão and getting two days off during this Carnival, São Paulo returns to work at the Barra Funda training center this Wednesday afternoon (18), starting at 4 PM (Brasília time).
Before that, at 3 PM, midfielder Cauly will be introduced as the new reinforcement for the Tricolor for the rest of the season. The player was officially announced by the club this Monday (16). Since he was training normally at Bahia, his former club, he is expected to participate in the activities led by Hernán Crespo, who has already praised his name.
And São Paulo will have more good news for the Argentine coach. The trio that was absent in the last victory against Ponte Preta will return to training. Defender Arboleda, who spent the week resolving personal issues in Ecuador, Ferreirinha, rested in Campinas due to muscle overload, and Bobadilla, recovered from a thigh injury, will return, according to initial information from ESPN.
In addition, the reserve goalkeeper who has not yet debuted, Carlos Coronel, is also expected to appear at the training center after dealing with kidney stones. He has been resting at home in recent days, undergoing periodic evaluations to determine his return.
Paraguayan Bobadilla suffered a trauma to his right thigh after receiving a blow during the victory over Grêmio at Morumbi. Meanwhile, number 11 Ferreira experienced an overload in his right adductor last week and was not included against Ponte Preta.
Thus, if all returns are confirmed, the Tricolor will be almost without absences, with only forwards Ryan, in the final recovery phase after surgery on his left knee, and André Silva, already in physical transition after a right knee injury last year.
Striker André is expected to return to São Paulo's matches in March. The young player from Cotia still does not have a close return date to the field.
Crespo will have three days to prepare the team and decide on the lineup for the decisive match against Bragantino away, valid for the quarter-finals of the Paulistão, only next Saturday (21), at 6:30 PM.
