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.
There will be three more absences due to suspension for Tricolor in the match against the Rio side 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 this past 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.
André Silva is Calleri’s backup, and Calleri is expected to return to the position 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 manager also arrives with a long injury list: Luciano (swelling in the back of the right thigh), Lucas (surgery on the right Achilles tendon), 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 a right rectus femoris injury) are in the medical department. In addition, Maik and Arboleda remain out of the squad.
Before the clash against Botafogo, São Paulo have another commitment at Morumbi, against Colombia’s Millonarios, at 9:30 p.m. this Tuesday (19), in the Copa Sudamericana.
