São Paulo confirm Enzo Díaz has ankle trauma, Wendell escapes injury | OneFootball

The left-backs Enzo Díaz and Wendell were re-evaluated on Monday morning during São Paulo’s return to training at SuperCT, after complaining of pain following the victory over Botafogo last Sunday. The Argentine suffered trauma to his left ankle, while the Brazilian did not have any injury detected in his left adductor.

Both players followed a schedule of regenerative exercises during training and completed additional work at REFFIS Plus, just like the rest of the squad who played 45 minutes or more against Botafogo.

Enzo Díaz fell on his own on the Morumbis pitch still in the first half. As a result, he was substituted at halftime and left the field for Wendell to come on, who finished the match feeling pain. It’s worth noting that number 18 is returning to action after recovering from a left hamstring injury.

The situation is a concern for coach Hernán Crespo, since Enzo had been the starter in the position this season. In addition to Wendell, the Argentine also has the young Patryck Lanza available.

Although no injury was detected, Wendell may not be fit to play the entire first leg of the Libertadores quarterfinals against LDU, scheduled for this Thursday, precisely due to the pain he felt against Botafogo and his recent return to the pitch.
