This Friday, at SuperCT, São Paulo concluded its preparations for the match against Cruzeiro, valid for the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship. The teams will face each other this Saturday at 9 p.m. (Brasília time) at Mineirão.
The group of players started the day with weight training inside the facilities and warming up on the pitch. Next, under the command of Hernán Crespo, they performed ball exercises. For the match, the Argentine coach has two uncertainties: midfielder Alisson (hip pain) and left-back Wendell (muscle injury in the back of the left thigh).
Tricolor has a long list of absences: Luiz Gustavo (pulmonary thromboembolism), Calleri (rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in the left knee), Ryan Francisco (rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus injury in the left knee), Oscar (fracture in the transverse processes of three lumbar vertebrae), and Arboleda (injury to the rectus femoris muscle of the left leg).
Lucas (partial strain of the posterior capsule of the right knee), André Silva (rupture of the posterior cruciate ligament and strain of the anterior cruciate ligament), and Marcos Antônio (muscle injury in the back of the left thigh) are also unavailable.
Thus, a probable São Paulo lineup is: Rafael; Ferraresi, Sabino, Alan Franco; Cédric, Pablo Maia, Bobadilla, Rodriguinho, Wendell (Patryck); Luciano, Dinenno.
Tricolor is enjoying a good moment in the Brasileirão. The team is unbeaten in eight matches, with six wins and two draws during this period. Last Sunday, São Paulo defeated Atlético-MG at Morumbis, 2-0. São Paulo is in 7th place, with 32 points earned.
