Exams indicate a serious injury for Calleri, San Paolo is studying treatments and free time could last up to six months


Jersey 9 will no longer play for the Tricolor in this Paulista Championship

Monday night (27th) was full of lamentations in São Paulo. From the examination carried out by Calleri it emerged that the injury to the right ankle reached one of the bones of the site. And, with that, the club and the striker are discussing what form of treatment will be. Regardless, the recovery period can last up to six months.




Sources Heard From THROW AWAY! emphasize that the player wants to undergo conventional treatment. Theoretically, if all goes well, the Argentine could return to the field in two months. But it would not be a definitive ‘cure’.

There are exceptions to the medical department of São Paulo in this regard. Precisely because Rafinha, sidelined with a similar injury, also carried out conventional recovery work and has not yet managed to be released to make the transition, despite the fact that he was already at work on the fields of the CT da Barra Funda with the physiotherapists.

The other way out would be surgery. Then Calleri could return to acting only in September. However, the understanding is that it would be a more assertive solution.

The decision will be made between the tricolor doctors and the Argentine in the next few days. It is true that the number 9 shirt, author of two goals in the year, no longer defends the club in the Paulista championship.

Calleri had also suffered in the region after being released to return to action after being sidelined for three matches, according to the L! discovery. Even so, due to the lack of options for position, he had acted with sacrifice.

Without his number 9 shirt, coach Rogério Ceni will have trouble defining the San Paolo attack. Erison, bought on loan from Botafogo, suffered a strain in his left full-back and has no intention of returning.

As for the L! revealed, the club is forwarding a contractual deal with Talles Wander, São Paulo’s top scorer in the last Junior São Paulo Cup, and who can be promoted to professional to be the reserve for the position.

Whoever has acted as an impromptu striker if necessary is another Argentine, Galoppo, the main Italian protagonist so far of the season and one of the top scorers of Paulistão.

There is also the option of Juan, another revelation from Cotia, who served as a basic centre-forward, but who Ceni only uses as a striker on the sideline.

With Calleri, the current list of injured players in the Tricolore reaches 13 names. But not everything is just bad news on the sides of the CT from Barra Funda. Orejuela, Welington and David started the transition this Monday (27), during a reserve and injured activity.

They join Diego Costa, Igor Vinícius and Caio Matheus, who were already in this stage of recovery. The plan envisages that the sextet will be available to Ceni for the state quarter-finals.
