São Paulo: Cauly set to start as surprise against Coritiba | OneFootball

The last of the reinforcements presented by São Paulo for the season, attacking midfielder Cauly is expected to be the big new addition to the tricolor team's lineup for the match at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time) this Wednesday (25th), against Coritiba, away from home, in the Brazilian Championship.

At least that's the indication amid the large number of absences from what we can call Hernán Crespo's starting team. Of the 11 starters who beat Bragantino last weekend, securing a spot in the semifinals of the Paulista Championship, at least three did not travel to the capital of Paraná for the match.

According to the Morumbi club itself, Danielzinho, due to a high level of fatigue, as well as right-back Lucas Ramon and defender Sabino, will be rested for the game, perhaps already with an eye on the decisive derby against rivals Palmeiras at the weekend, for the state championship.

Another absence for Crespo will be Lucca, who is experiencing pain in the back of his left thigh. Alisson, who has not been participating in matches after the failed negotiations with rivals Corinthians, also did not travel to Curitiba (PR). But this time São Paulo reported that the player is recovering from a virus.

With the absence in the central axis of the team, and the expectation that other players who have been playing frequently will be rested for the Palmeiras match (such as Lucas), the reinforcement signed from Bahia could be the big novelty among the starting eleven. Cauly has already made his debut for Tricolor, coming on in the final minutes of the match in Bragança Paulista.

The probable São Paulo lineup for tonight's match should be formed by Rafael; Maik, Alan Franco, Dória (Arboleda) and Enzo Díaz (Wendel); Pablo Maia, Bobadilla, Marcos Antônio and Cauly; Tapia (Luciano) and Calleri.

Despite the excitement caused by the news that André Silva has returned to normal training, having recovered from the serious injury he suffered last year, the striker did not travel with the squad to Curitiba.
