São Paulo could have up to 5 reinforcements against Inter; see probable lineup

Coach of São Paulo, Hernán Crespo could have up to five returns for today’s match against Internacional at 8 pm (Brasilia time). Only leaving the medical department, Tricolor will have three names: Luciano, Ferreira, and Arboleda. In addition to the trio, Sabino and Rafael also return after serving a suspension for the third yellow card in the 6-0 thrashing to Fluminense. However, the list of absences remains extensive. In total, the team is expected to have around ten players out due to medical reasons. As for options, the expectation is that almost all of them will be starters. Rafael is the natural choice in goal. Arboleda is likely to reclaim his spot in the defensive trio alongside Alan Franco and Sabino, who could also feature in the starting eleven once again. Luciano is expected to partner with Tapia up front, maintaining the attacking duo from recent weeks. The biggest question mark would be Ferreira. The left side of the team only has Patryck available, who did not play against Flu, and Crespo could once again choose to deploy the forward as a winger.
