São Paulo line-up: Marcos Antonio back for Remo before cup break | OneFootball

São Paulo is ready with good news for its last match before the break for the 2026 World Cup. This Saturday (30), at CT da Barra Funda, the squad held its final training session before traveling to Belém, Pará.

Tricolor’s last challenge in the first half of 2026 will be against Remo on Sunday night (31), at 8:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Mangueirão Stadium, in the 18th round of the Brazilian Championship.

Before taking to the pitch this morning, the coaching staff presented a video to the players. After that, the group went onto the field and did a warm-up with mobility exercises and technical drills led by the fitness staff.

With an eye on this weekend’s match, coach Dorival Júnior oversaw tactical work with instructions and different game situations. The squad also carried out activities focused on attacking and defensive movement. Finally, there was a set-piece session.

After training, the Tricolor delegation began the trip to Belém with some good news: having recovered from an injury to his right rectus femoris muscle, Marcos Antonio is back in the squad list. The number 8 took part normally in the last few training sessions and is available, but is not guaranteed a starting spot. Cauly also trained normally during the week, but remains out as he continues his physical conditioning, as the club reported.

A likely São Paulo lineup for the last match before the World Cup should be: Rafael, Lucas Ramon, Rafael Tolói (Osorio), Alan Franco and Enzo Díaz; Pablo Maia, Danielzinho and André Silva (Marcos Antonio); Artur, Ferreirinha and Calleri.

For the match against Remo, Dorival will be without Luciano and Wendell, who are suspended after picking up a third yellow card, as well as Bobadilla, who has already been released to join the Paraguay squad.

São Paulo sit seventh in the Brazilian Championship, with 25 points from 17 matches, while Remo are 19th, in the relegation zone, with 15 points.
