São Paulo faces six absences for Chapecoense clash
São Paulo has finished preparations for the match against Chapecoense, but will be missing six players for the Sunday encounter in the Brazilian Championship.
São Paulo has concluded preparations for the away match against Chapecoense, scheduled for this Sunday, August 23, at the Arena Condá. For this 24th round Brazilian Championship fixture, the coaching staff confirmed that six players will be unavailable.
The list of absentees includes Arboleda, suffering from an adductor edema, and Bobadilla, who is treating a right knee injury. Furthermore, Lucca continues his recovery from a jaw fracture, while Victor Sá is sidelined following a traumatic ankle sprain sustained during Thursday's training session. Lucas Moura is still progressing through physiotherapy, and Rafael Tolói remains in São Paulo for physical conditioning.
The match is crucial for São Paulo, as the team looks to end a league winless streak that dates back to May. Following a tactical session and set-piece drills at the SuperCT, the delegation departed for Chapecó.
The probable lineup for São Paulo: Rafael, Lucas Ramon, Domingos Duarte, Sabino, Iago (Wendell), Danielzinho, Marcos Antônio, Newton, Artur, Luciano, and Calleri.
