São Paulo line-up: Luciano and Ferreirinha ruled out against Fluminense | OneFootball

São Paulo is ready to face Fluminense. This Wednesday, the Tricolor squad held their final training session at SuperCT and wrapped up preparations for the match valid for the 36th round of the Brazilian Championship. For the match, Hernán Crespo will have important absences: forwards Luciano and Ferreirinha are out.

Luciano suffered trauma to his right leg during the game against Juventude last Sunday. Feeling pain in the area, the number 10 did not participate in Wednesday’s activities and will remain in São Paulo for treatment.

Ferreirinha, in turn, left the same match with swelling in his left thigh. He even went to the pitch for a controlled physical training session, but will also not travel.

Goalkeeper Rafael and defender Sabino, both suspended due to accumulation of yellow cards, will also miss the game.

Other Absences

In total, Crespo will have to deal with an impressive 15 absences for the match in Rio de Janeiro. In addition to those already mentioned, the following players are out: Lucas (pain in right knee), Calleri (transition after surgery on left knee), Oscar (vasovagal syncope), André Silva (ligament injuries in right knee), Luan (right adductor injury), Ryan Francisco (ligament injury in left knee), Dinenno (arthroscopy on right knee), Wendell (partial rupture of the plantar fascia in left foot), Enzo Díaz (surgery for correction of inguinal hernia), Arboleda (injury to the back of left thigh), and Rodriguinho (respiratory condition).

Positive News

The good news for the Argentine coach is the return of Rafael Toloi. The defender, who had suffered a muscle injury in his hip during the derby against Corinthians, trained normally and is back in the squad.

São Paulo Lineup

With so many absences, Crespo will have to rack his brains to put together the team that will take the field. The tendency is that São Paulo will start with: Young; Ferraresi, Rafael Toloi and Alan Franco; Maik, Pablo Maia, Bobadilla, Marcos Antônio and Patryck; Rigoni and Tapia.

How Was Training?

Wednesday’s training session began with a warm-up led by the fitness staff. Afterwards, Crespo and his coaching staff conducted a tactical 11-on-11 drill, finishing the day with work on offensive and defensive set pieces.

After training, the squad began their trip to Rio de Janeiro, where they will remain in concentration until Thursday’s game.

Standings Situation

With the win over Juventude, São Paulo returned to winning ways after three rounds and remains focused on the G7 of the Brazilian Championship. The Tricolor occupies eighth place in the standings, with 48 points, seven behind Fluminense, who are in seventh.
