Crespo faces another selection headache for São Paulo: Ferraresi suspended | OneFootball

As if the injuries weren't enough, coach Hernán Crespo has another problem for the match against Bahia, at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) on Saturday (25), at Morumbi, for the Brazilian Championship.

In the 3-0 defeat to Mirassol last Sunday (19), defender Ferraresi received his third yellow card and will serve an automatic suspension in the match against the Bahia team.

It was the Venezuelan's return to the starting lineup after missing the last five games, with the two matches prior to the Mirassol game being spent on the bench due to a technical decision.

Without Ferraresi, Crespo relies on Sabino to set up his system with three defenders. The player had been an absolute starter before being left out of the starting eleven in Mirassol.

Rafael Tolói, another option for the sector, remains out. With an injury to the back of his left thigh suffered on September 29, the defender remains asymptomatic, showing good progress, and is engaging in ball work and high-intensity running on the field with the physiotherapists.

Crespo, who has already faced difficulties in setting up the defense due to absences, found solutions in past rounds. He included young Isac and improvised midfielders Luiz Gustavo and Negrucci in the role.
