Lucca dropped: only youngster left out by Dorival Jr, stays in U20 | OneFootball

São Paulo have already resumed training during this break for the World Cup and are working at full speed at the Barra Funda training center. Dorival Júnior is finally getting time to implement his ideas with the team during this Tricolor mid-season break.

The young players in the squad who had been playing for Júlio Baptista’s under-20 team during this period so they would not lose rhythm have already returned to the senior squad. But with the exception of one name.

Ryan Francisco, Osorio, Tete, Nicolas, Djhordney and Pedro Ferreira are already training under Dorival’s command at Barra Funda. But one was left out, forward Lucca, who remains in the youth setup for now.

The young winger was the only one from the group that has already been around the senior team who remained with the under-20s at the start of this week and took part in the team’s 1-0 win over Fortaleza this Tuesday (23) in the Brazilian championship for the category.

Dorival preferred to work more closely with the also skillful winger Tete, who has moved ahead of Lucca in the coach’s pecking order at the moment. Everything will still depend on how the Tricolor squad is shaped for the second half of the season.

As for the attack, São Paulo already have everything agreed with Victor Sá, who will be officially announced in the coming days. But there should not be any more attacking reinforcements beyond him.

Thus, Lucca will continue playing for the youth team until further notice, waiting for a new call-up from Dorival Jr. to show that he can be useful to the Tricolor’s main squad.
