After defeat, São Paulo squad given time off, back in training on Wednesday | OneFootball

After the 1-0 defeat to Cruzeiro at Mineirão in the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship, São Paulo will have a break and will return this Wednesday (September 3), at 4 PM (Brasília time), at SuperCT, starting preparations for the match against Botafogo, which will be played after the break for the FIFA date.

The sequence of eight unbeaten games for the São Paulo team came to an end last Saturday, with six wins and two draws. The goal that decided the match was scored by Matheus Pereira, from a free kick at 18 minutes into the second half, after a deflection by Alan Franco.

With the result, São Paulo remains in seventh place, with 32 points, and missed the chance to at least sleep in the G6.

Now, with the pause in Brazilian football for the FIFA Date, São Paulo returns to the field on the next September 14, Sunday, at 5:30 PM, at Morumbi, against Botafogo, for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão. Cruzeiro, on the other hand, faces Atlético-MG in the return match of the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil, on September 11, at 7:30 PM, at Mineirão.

The FIFA date break will allow São Paulo to advance in the recovery of injured players and integrate Rafael Toloi into the team. Lucas Moura and Marcos Antônio are the main ones expected to return, as well as Arboleda.

Wendell, already recovered, can use the period to improve his physical condition. Other athletes, such as Calleri, Ryan Francisco, Oscar, and André Silva, continue in recovery.
