Tricolor update: Lucas returns, Luiz Gustavo set for comeback | OneFootball

If São Paulo has already traveled to Ecuador, where the quarterfinal clash of the Copa Libertadores against LDU begins, part of the players, who are in physical recovery, worked at the Barra Funda training center this Wednesday (17th). The club also provided an update on the medical status of some of them.

Showing progress, the attacking midfielder Lucas ran on the pitch for the first time after undergoing arthroscopy to remove fibrosis from his right knee. On Monday (15th), he had worked out on the treadmill.

The midfielder Luiz Gustavo, recovered from pulmonary thromboembolism, underwent a series of physical tests at REFFIS Plus with an eye on resuming unrestricted training with the group starting Saturday.

Meanwhile, the forward André Silva, recovering from injuries to his right knee, continued his muscle strengthening exercises with physiotherapy at the São Paulo training center gym.

Thus, Hernán Crespo's squad is expected to do only an activation session at the hotel on the day of the first leg of the quarterfinals against LDU, at 7 p.m. (Brasília time) this Thursday (18th).
