Tactical training wraps up Tricolor's preparations for Vasco clash | OneFootball

Tricolor is ready to face Vasco da Gama this Saturday (18), at 6:30 p.m., at São Januário, in the Brazilian Championship. On Friday afternoon (17), at SuperCT, the squad wrapped up preparations before traveling to Rio de Janeiro, where they will take on the Rio side in the 12th round.

São Paulo’s final day of fine-tuning began with a video shown to the players by the coaching staff.

After the warm-up process, head coach Roger Machado led a tactical training session focused on building out from the back and creating plays. There was also a small-sided game.

Forward Ryan Francisco, who played for the Under-20 team in the 3-3 draw with Avaí last Thursday (16) in the Brazilian U-20 Championship at Ressacada, in Florianópolis (SC), returned to the first-team squad and did recovery work this afternoon.

For this weekend’s match, the São Paulo side will have center-back Sabino back available (after improving his fitness following a strain in his right calf).

Center-back Rafael Toloi (third yellow card) and right-back Lucas Ramon (suspended after a red card), however, will not travel with the squad.

In addition to the duo, Ferreira (swelling in the back of his left thigh), Pablo Maia (surgery to repair fractures to his nose and face), Lucas (fractures in two ribs), and Marcos Antonio (injury to the rectus femoris muscle in his right thigh) are also unavailable.

Tricolor sit third in the Brasileirão, with 20 points from 11 matches.
