After returning from Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia, late on Wednesday afternoon (12), the day after the 1-1 draw with Bolívar (BOL) in La Paz in the first leg of the CONMEBOL Sudamericana round of 16, the São Paulo squad resumed training on Thursday morning (13) at the SuperCT.
The team is now turning its attention to the clash with Coritiba in the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship, set to be played at MorumBIS from 9 p.m. on Saturday (15).
The first activities of the day brought together the entire group, including forward Artur, who is recovering from pain in his left adductor. The fitness coaches led mobility exercises and technical drills as a warm-up, and then the coaching staff introduced a possession exercise with a touch limit.
After that, Artur joined center-back Rafael Toloi, who is recovering from an injury to the back of his right thigh, for specific fitness work. The players who logged more minutes in Bolivia ran around the pitch and then headed indoors at the SuperCT, where they completed their recovery schedule.
For the players who remained on the field, Dorival Júnior and his assistants set up two-on-one and three-on-two drills followed by a small-sided game.
Returns
After being held out of activities in recent days, left-back Nicolas returned to training with the group and took part in every stage of the session.
Defensive midfielder Djhordney and attacking midfielder Pedro Ferreira reported back after representing the Brazil U-20 national team in two friendlies against Bolivia at Granja Comary. Both started both matches, which ended with the same score: a 2-0 win for Brazil.
