Squad return to training ahead of Vasco da Gama in the Brasileirão | OneFootball

After defeating O’Higgins (CHI) 2-0 last Tuesday (14) at MorumBIS and staying on top of Group C in the CONMEBOL Sudamericana, the São Paulo squad returned to training this Thursday (16) and worked at SuperCT with their next fixture of the season in mind: this time in the Brasileirão, against Vasco da Gama. The match will be played on Saturday (18), at 6:30 p.m., at São Januário, in the 12th round.

This morning’s activities split the players into two groups and featured some updates: the starters from the win over the Chilean side did recovery work indoors and ran on the pitch, while the rest trained on the field alongside Sabino and Paulinho.

The center back worked on regaining fitness after a strain in his right calf and trained normally with his teammates.

Meanwhile, the young forward, in the final stage of his transition after a left knee injury suffered in the Copinha final, took part in part of the session and did additional fitness work.

Attacking midfielder Lucas was also on the pitch as he recovers from fractures to two ribs. Wearing the No. 7 shirt, he ran under the supervision of the physiotherapy staff.

After the warm-up, the tactical session led by head coach Roger Machado and his staff was lengthy and focused on playing out from the back under pressure and creating attacking moves.

On Friday afternoon (17), Tricolor will hold their final preparations in São Paulo before flying to Rio de Janeiro on a charter flight operated by Sideral.
