In final stages of recovery, Arboleda trains with São Paulo squad | OneFootball

On this Thursday, at SuperCT, São Paulo advanced in its preparation for the duel against Botafogo, valid for the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship, again with the defender Arboleda. The teams face each other on Sunday (14/09), at 5:30 pm (Brasília time), at Morumbi.

The group of athletes started the day in the gym. Next, under Crespo's command, it was divided into two for confrontation activities, varying between individual and collective confrontations. Finally, the players did technical work on a reduced field of three against three.

Just like last Wednesday, Arboleda, in the final phase of transition, participated in part of the training with the ball before doing individualized exercises. The midfielders Marcos Antonio and Hugo, the midfielder Oscar and the forward Calleri went to the field for activities with physiotherapy. In recovery, the forward André Silva and the midfielder Lucas remained in REFFIS Plus.

While the Brazilian football calendar was paused for the last commitments of the National Team in the Qualifiers, Crespo will have the mission to get the squad "on the tips of their hooves" for the great challenges that will come ahead.

On September 14, Tricolor receives Botafogo, at Morumbi, for the Brasileirão. On the 18th, it will be time to take the field away from home for the first game of the series that is worth a place in the semifinal of the continental tournament.

The "mid-season" will fall like a glove, as São Paulo deals with a series of losses and seeks to recover some of the most important players, especially for the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores. At the moment, Tricolor cannot count on eight athletes: Luiz Gustavo, Calleri, Lucas, André Silva, Marcos Antônio, Oscar, Arboleda, and Ryan Francisco.
