Monday (25) could bring good or bad news for São Paulo. Everything will depend on the information the club receives in the afternoon, after learning the results of the tests that will be undergone by midfielder Marcos Antônio and forward André Silva, both of whom were substituted due to injuries during the victory over Atlético-MG on Sunday night (24), at Morumbi, for the Brazilian Championship.

Marcos Antônio felt discomfort in the back of his left thigh and left as a precaution to avoid worsening his condition. Shirt number 20 himself requested the substitution, still in the first half of the match.

All caution is little. The player has already suffered a problem in this same area that kept him out of five matches between May and June. And there is great expectation that his name will be among those called up by coach Carlo Ancelotti this morning for the Brazilian National Team.

At first, his case is not considered serious, as he was walking normally.

Another who experienced a tense moment during the duel with the team from Minas Gerais was forward André Silva. He also requested a substitution during the match, but in the second half, with pain in his right thigh.

The initial assessment is also that it is something mild, since he was walking normally after initial treatment with ice, still on the bench. But just like Marcos Antônio, shirt number 17 will also undergo tests.
