With new faces, São Paulo return to training and gear up for the Choque-Rei | OneFootball

São Paulo reconvened this Friday at SuperCT, beginning their short preparation to face Palmeiras for the 27th round of the Brasileirão. Tricolor, who beat Fortaleza 2-0 on Thursday, will host Verdão at Morumbis, starting at 4pm (Brasília time).

The São Paulo squad's training session featured some new developments. Among them, Ferraresi, recovering from a left adductor injury, conducted individual activities on the CT field under the supervision of the physical preparation team. The Venezuelan defender is a loss for São Paulo for the Choque-Rei.

In addition, two players who were rested for the match against Leão do Pici in Ceará trained normally upon reconvening. These include Alan Franco and Lucas.

The Argentine defender suffered a muscle overload in the front part of his right thigh and therefore did not travel with the squad to face Fortaleza. The attacking midfielder, on the other hand, stayed in São Paulo to carry out individualized activities, continuing the recovery process after arthroscopy to remove fibrosis in the right knee.

The trend, therefore, is that both are now available to Hernán Crespo's technical commission for the match against Alviverde. Arboleda, who served a suspension in the last round due to an accumulation of yellow cards, also returns to the squad for the match at Morumbis.

São Paulo will have an extensive list of absentees to face Palmeiras. Calleri and Ryan remain out after undergoing surgery on their left knee, while André Silva is treating an injury to the posterior cruciate ligament and a strain on the anterior cruciate ligament of the right knee. In addition to Ferraresi, in the medical department are also Luan and Rafael Tolói, who suffered a left thigh injury. Besides them, Rigoni is suspended and cannot be used in the classic.

How was the training?

The day's training was predominantly conducted by the physical preparation team. The players who played for longer in the victory over Fortaleza followed a schedule of regenerative activities, aimed at mobility, strengthening and muscle recovery.

The remaining athletes went to the field and, after core exercises, participated in a circuit that combined physical and technical stimuli.

In the seventh position of the Brazilian Championship, with 38 points, Tricolor will hold the last training session before the classic on Saturday afternoon, at SuperCT.
