São Paulo hopeful of Marcos Antônio and Rafael Tolói back v Boston River | OneFootball

São Paulo’s squad returned to training on Sunday (24) focused on the final round of Group C of the Copa Sudamericana, scheduled for 7 p.m. Brasília time on Tuesday (26), against Boston River (Uruguay).

The Tricolor need to win to secure first place in the group and direct qualification for the round of 16. And after head coach Dorival Júnior appealed to the medical department, expectations are high for the return of injured players.

Center back Rafael Tolói and defensive midfielder Marcos Antonio, who are in transition after muscle injuries, took part in part of the session with their teammates and then did individualized exercises with the fitness staff.

Meanwhile, attacking midfielder Cauly (pain in the right adductor) went onto the pitch for exercises guided by the physiotherapy staff.

After leaving Saturday’s (23) draw with Botafogo in the Brazilian Championship with pain, center back Sabino (back of the right thigh) and forward Luciano (right calf) remained under treatment and will be re-evaluated.

The Tricolor are looking to hold on to top spot to secure qualification for the round of 16. Millonarios (COL), with eight points, and O’Higgins (CHI), with seven, are still in contention. Boston River (URU), with three, have no chance of advancing.
