São Paulo: Luciano trains after scare, Crespo to rest him | OneFootball

With the presence of forward Luciano in activities this Friday (6th) at the Barra Funda training center, São Paulo concluded the preparations to face Primavera for the first time in the clubs' history: the unprecedented match will be played this Saturday (7th) at 8:30 PM (Brasília time) at Morumbi, for the seventh round of the Paulista Championship.

The number 10, who left the classic against Santos with pain in the back of his right thigh last Wednesday (4th) at Vila Belmiro, for the Brazilian Championship, trained with his teammates this morning after undergoing treatment at Reffis.

The tendency is that after three consecutive matches using the same starting lineup, coach Hernán Crespo will make changes and field a lineup considered mixed. Thus, Luciano is expected to be rested for the match.

The anticipation is for the debut of right-back Lucas Ramon. The new reinforcement, who came from Mirassol, was cleared in the CBF's BID and, as he had already been training regularly at the interior club, is in good physical condition.

São Paulo is likely to face Primavera with a lineup probably formed by Rafael (Carlos Coronel); Ferraresi, Rafael Tolói (Arboleda), and Dória (Sabino); Lucas Ramon (Cédric Soares), Luan (Pablo Maia), Negrucci (Marcos Antônio), Lucas, and Enzo Díaz (Wendell); Tapia (Ferreirinha) and Calleri (Lucca).

The day of preparation for this weekend's match began with a warm-up process on the field.

Subsequently, the players did physical exercises with the trainers and engaged in team confrontation activities.

The athletes who showed more fatigue after Wednesday's classic underwent a regenerative complement with physical preparation.

The duel against Primavera is essential for São Paulo to keep dreaming of qualifying for the knockout stage of the State Championship. With the victory over Santos in the last round, the club occupies the 11th position, with seven points in six games.
