Tricolor return to São Paulo and train for clash with O’Higgins | OneFootball

São Paulo’s squad arrived in the state capital in the early hours of this Sunday (12) after returning from Salvador, and trained in the morning with a focus on the match against O’Higgins (CHI), for the second round of Group C of the CONMEBOL Sudamericana. The match will be played at MorumBIS starting at 7 p.m. on Tuesday (14).

The players who logged the most minutes in the defeat to Vitória in the Brazilian Championship did recovery work indoors and then a run on the pitch. The rest of the squad, under coach Roger Machado, took part in a small-sided session focused on offensive transitions and attack-versus-defense situations.

Forward Calleri, who had been following concussion protocol after a collision suffered in last Saturday’s match against Cruzeiro (04/04), took part in the entire session.

Center back Sabino (right calf strain) and defensive midfielder Bobadilla (three stitches in his right foot) also went onto the pitch and did individualized exercises. Forward Luciano (right calf strain) trained in the gym and continued treatment at REFFIS Plus.

The clash against the Chilean side is for the top spot in the group, as both São Paulo and O’Higgins (CHI) won in the opening round. Tricolor beat Boston River (URU) 1-0 in Montevideo, while the Chileans defeated Millonarios (COL) 2-0 at home.
