São Paulo have completed their preparations for Wednesday’s derby against Corinthians, with forward Artur available again after recovering from a lower-back injury. The match is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. Brasília time at Vila Belmiro in the 34th round of the Brasileirão.
Artur took part in Tuesday’s training session at the club’s Barra Funda training center without restrictions. Marcos Antônio, however, is out after taking a blow to his ankle in the game against Santos. The midfielder had continued playing despite the injury, starting against Cruzeiro, Vasco and Mirassol, while coming off the bench against Vitória.
The squad began its final training session with a warm-up and possession work before coach Dorival Júnior and his staff led tactical exercises focused on attacking moves, set pieces and play in a reduced area. The delegation then traveled to Santos, where it will stay ahead of the derby.
São Paulo’s probable lineup is Rafael; Newton, Arboleda and Osorio (or Toloi); Pedro Lima, Djhordney (or Pablo Maia), Bobadilla and Iago; Artur, Lucas (or Luciano) and Calleri.
