São Paulo: Lucas and Alan Franco set to face Palmeiras | OneFootball

The São Paulo squad returned from Fortaleza during the early hours and already trained late Friday morning (3rd) at the Barra Funda training center, focusing on the derby against Palmeiras.

Seventh in the Brazilian Championship with 38 points, Tricolor will host their rival at Morumbi starting at 4pm (Brasília time) on Sunday (5th), in a match valid for the 27th round of the competition.

The day's activities were mostly led by the fitness coaches. The players who spent more minutes on the field during the victory over Fortaleza followed a recovery exercise routine, focusing on mobility, strength, and muscle recovery.

The others went out to the pitch and, after a series of core exercises, completed a circuit with physical and technical drills.

Alan Franco and Lucas, who did not travel for the win against Fortaleza, joined this activity. The defender had muscle overload in the front region of his right thigh, while the attacking midfielder remained in São Paulo for individualized training, continuing his recovery after arthroscopy to remove fibrosis from his right knee.

Arboleda, who served a suspension due to accumulation of yellow cards, also trained with this group.

Ferraresi, who is recovering from a left adductor injury, went to the pitch for individual work with the fitness staff.

The last training session before the derby will take place on Saturday afternoon (4th) at the training center.
