Duo pick up third yellow card, ruled out for São Paulo v Flamengo | OneFootball

Coach Hernán Crespo has gained two more problems for selecting the São Paulo team. Defender Alan Franco and left-back Enzo Diaz received their third yellow card during the 2-0 victory over Vasco this Sunday and will have to serve a suspension in the match against Flamengo.

Alan Franco received the yellow card at 27 minutes into the second half for stepping on Andrés Gómez. Shortly after, Enzo Díaz was also cautioned by referee Wilton Pereira Sampaio after a foul on Ryan in midfield.

In defense, the coach has the options of Ferraresi and Tolói, in addition to Sabino. Meanwhile, on the left side, with Wendell injured, Patrick Lanza, from the tricolor youth team, is expected to start playing.

Besides the duo, Rafael, Sabino, Marcos Antônio, and Dinenno were also at risk of suspension, but the trio did not receive a yellow card and, therefore, remain available for the technical staff for the 32nd round of the Brasileirão. São Paulo and Flamengo will face each other next Wednesday at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at Vila Belmiro.

São Paulo's Situation in the Brazilian League

With the victory, São Paulo is in eighth position in the Brazilian League, with 44 points, three behind Fluminense, which is in seventh place, and four behind Botafogo, which closes the G6. This year's final between Palmeiras and Flamengo should provide one more spot through the national tournament, turning the G6 into G7, if the champion remains among the top positions.
