After qualifying for the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores, it's time to focus again on the Brazilian Championship. And São Paulo, undefeated in seven games in the national competition, with five wins and two draws in the period, returned after a break and trained on Thursday afternoon (21) with an eye on the game against Atlético-MG, Sunday (24), at 20:30 (Brasília time), at Morumbi, for the 21st round.

The athletes who accumulated the most playing time in the match against Atlético Nacional, on Tuesday (19), performed activities for muscle recovery, with mobility, core, and strength exercises, in addition to work in the pool at the Barra Funda CT.

For the others, the session started with a circuit of strength exercises. Next, Hernán Crespo and his technical committee led games in reduced space.

Defender Arboleda (injury to the left femoral rectus muscle) and left-back Wendell (injury to the posterior region of the left thigh) went to the field and ran under the supervision of physiotherapy. The same happened with striker Calleri, who worked in the morning. The Argentine continues his recovery schedule after surgery to reconstruct the anterior cruciate ligament of his left knee.

São Paulo trains again on Friday (22) and Saturday (23) mornings, finalizing preparations for the game.
