Coach Hernán Crespo has wrapped up São Paulo's preparation for the 9pm (Brasília time) match this Saturday (30th), against Cruzeiro, at Mineirão, for the Brazilian Championship.
Alongside his assistants, the coach led an 11-on-11 tactical activity followed by set-piece repetitions. There was also a drill in a reduced space for a part of the squad.
The novelty in the related list is the presence of left-back Wendell, recovered from a muscle injury in the posterior region of the left thigh. This afternoon, once again, the number 18 participated in all the work alongside his teammates.
As Enzo Díaz will serve an automatic suspension for the third yellow card received in the victory over Atlético-MG, last weekend, Wendell is all set to return as a starter in the São Paulo team.
Two other positions remain uncertain. In midfield, Rodriguinho, spared from the starting 11 due to pains against Atlético-MG last weekend, should regain his spot, as the coach lost Marcos Antônio due to injury.
