See Crespo’s attacking options for São Paulo in the clash with Cruzeiro | OneFootball

Coach Hernán Crespo will need to rack his brains to set up the attack for São Paulo in the match against Cruzeiro, for the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship. The match takes place this Saturday, at 9 pm (Brasília time), at Mineirão.

This is because the Argentine lost André Silva, who became the third São Paulo striker to suffer a knee ligament injury this season, along with Jonathan Calleri and young Ryan Francisco.

For the match against Cruzeiro, Juan Dinenno could be an option in the position, but he will not be able to play due to contractual issues. Thus, Crespo should line up Gonzalo Tapia as the team's striker. In fact, it was he who replaced André Silva and scored the second goal for São Paulo in the 2-0 victory over Atlético-MG last Sunday.

Hernán Crespo can still improvise other players in the position, such as Luciano and Ferreirinha. In addition, the Argentine coach has the option of young Henrique Carmo, who is only 18 years old.

Lucas Moura, who could also be a possibility, is following a special schedule to recover from a right knee injury and will be absent for Tricolor in the match against Cruzeiro. This Saturday, the striker will undergo a new examination after complaining of pain in the area.

São Paulo is in 7th place in the Brazilian Championship table, with 32 points. On the other hand, Cabuloso is in 3rd place, with 41 points accumulated.
