On Easter Sunday, Tricolor train with eyes on the CONMEBOL Sul-Americana | OneFootball

Easter Sunday (05) began with training for the São Paulo squad at the SuperCT. The team returned after beating Cruzeiro 4-1 on Saturday night (04) in the Brazilian Championship and is now focused on its CONMEBOL Sudamericana opener against Boston River (URU) at 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday (07) at the Centenario Stadium in Montevideo.

With the presence of youth academy players, Roger Machado led an 11-v-11 practice match for the players who did not feature or played fewer minutes in the game. This gave the coach the chance to observe the players, provide tactical guidance, and balance the group’s training load.

Forward Ryan, who is in the reconditioning phase after recovering from surgery on his left knee, took part in the entire session.

Defender Alan Franco, who missed the last two matches due to pain in his right calf, completed the full warm-up alongside his teammates, including technical drills, and then did an individual session on the pitch.

The players who logged more minutes against Cruzeiro did exercises in the gym and then went out onto the pitch for a run. The exceptions were Sabino and Luciano, who remained at REFFIS Plus for evaluations and treatment. Both the defender and the forward left the match in pain and are dealing with strain in their right calf.

Forward Calleri, who suffered a blow to the head and required eight stitches above his eyebrow, is following concussion protocol and resting after tests showed no abnormalities.

São Paulo will train again on Monday morning (06) and travel to Uruguay in the afternoon.
