More bad news: São Paulo lose three more for Botafogo in Brasileirão | OneFootball

São Paulo will have new problems for the next round of the Brasileirão, when they face Botafogo in a match valid for the 16th round.

The Tricolor will have three more absences due to suspension for the match against the Rio club next Saturday (23), at 5 p.m. (Brasília time), scheduled for Morumbi Stadium.

Left-back Enzo Díaz, defensive midfielder Bobadilla, and forward André Silva received their third yellow card against Fluminense in the 2-1 defeat last Saturday (16) and are suspended for the next round of the Brazilian Championship.

On the left side of defense, Wendell will naturally take the spot. In place of the Paraguayan midfielder, Pablo Maia could be an option, as he has been preparing to return to action next week. Luan is also an alternative.

As for André Silva, he is Calleri’s backup, and Calleri is expected to retake his place after serving an automatic suspension against Flu in Rio de Janeiro. All of these issues are already problems for Dorival Júnior, the coach announced by the club, but who has not yet made his debut.

The new coach also arrives with a long injury list: Luciano (swelling in the back of the right thigh), Lucas (surgery on the Achilles tendon of the right leg), Alan Franco (in transition after a minor strain in the right adductor), Rafael Toloi (pain in the left calf), Pablo Maia (working on regaining fitness after surgery to repair fractures in the nose and face), and Marcos Antônio (in transition after an injury to the right rectus femoris) are in the medical department. In addition to them, Maik and Arboleda remain sidelined from the Tricolor squad.

Before the clash against Botafogo, São Paulo have another match at Morumbi, against Millonarios of Colombia, at 9:30 p.m. this Tuesday (19), in the Copa Sudamericana.
