São Paulo wrapped up preparations on Friday morning (10) for the match against Vitória in the 11th round of the Brazilian Championship, set to kick off at 4:30 p.m. this Saturday (11) at Barradão in Salvador.

The day’s work began indoors at the SuperCT, with a video shown to the players by the coaching staff. On the pitch, the fitness coaches opened the session by leading the warm-up, and then head coach Roger Machado and his assistants oversaw tactical drills.

The first exercise focused on positioning, with coordinated movement, passing sequences, and build-up play. The session ended with an 11-on-11 practice match.

Forward Lucca, recovered from pain in the front of his right thigh, once again took part in all activities with his teammates and is part of the traveling squad.

Forward Luciano completed part of the work on the field but will remain in São Paulo due to strain in his right calf.

Center-back Sabino (right calf strain) and defensive midfielder Bobadilla (three stitches in his right foot after a challenge in the match against Boston River-URU) did individualized indoor work and will not travel with the group.

Forward Calleri, who followed concussion protocol after a head collision in the match against Cruzeiro, has been cleared for physical work on the pitch. He is still not fit to play and will also remain in the state capital.

Meanwhile, midfielder Pablo Maia underwent surgery this morning at Albert Einstein Israelite Hospital to repair fractures in his nose and facial bones, suffered in an accidental collision during Thursday’s training session (09). The procedure was successful, and the player is awaiting discharge to begin his recovery process.

The São Paulo squad will travel late this afternoon on a chartered Sideral flight. With 20 points, Tricolor starts the round in second place in the Brazilian Championship.
