Line-up: São Paulo welcome back injured players for Sul-Americana | OneFootball

São Paulo’s squad arrived back in the São Paulo capital in the early hours of this Sunday (12) after returning from Salvador, where they lost to Vitória in the Brazilian Championship, and trained again in the morning with a focus on the match against Chile’s O’Higgins in the second round of Group C of the Copa Sudamericana. The match will be played at Morumbi starting at 7 p.m. (Brasília time) on Tuesday (14).

The players who logged the most minutes at Barradão did recovery work indoors and then went for a run on the pitch. The rest took part in a small-sided field session led by coach Roger Machado, focused on offensive transitions and attack-versus-defense situations.

Forward Calleri, who followed concussion protocol after the collision he suffered in the thrashing of Cruzeiro last Saturday (4), took part in the entire session.

Defender Sabino (strain in his right calf) and defensive midfielder Bobadilla (three stitches in his right foot) also went onto the pitch and did individual exercises. Forward Luciano (strain in his right calf), meanwhile, trained in the gym and continued treatment at Reffis.

The clash against the Chilean side is worth top spot in the group, since both São Paulo and O’Higgins won in the opening round. Tricolor beat Boston River (URU) 1-0 in Montevideo, while the Chileans defeated Millonarios (COL) 2-0 at home.
