How Atletico arrives
The main news for Atletico ahead of the match will be the return of centre-forward Mastriani, who was resting due to physical fatigue, but is now back as a starter. However, striker Cuello remains in doubt, with knee pain, and will have to undergo evaluations. Furthermore, another unconfirmed player is Felipinho, recovering from hepatitis. Finally, Nikão has suffered a thigh injury and is expected to be out, while Bento and Canobbio are busy in the Copa América. In fact, the team remains led by Juca Antonello, while Furacão is looking for a new coach.
How to get to Sao Paulo
Sao Paulo will have striker Luciano as the main absentee. After all, the number 10 received his third yellow card in the duel against Bahia and will be absent due to suspension. The returnee is coach Luis Zubeldía, who served his suspension in the last match and returns to the bench. Just like Rodrigo Nestor, who returned from injury and should be an option. However, he will have to start from the reserve bench. Finally, Tricolor Paulista has the usual absences. Rafael, Ferraresi, James Rodriguez and Bobadilla are with their respective teams at the Copa América, while Rafinha and Pablo Maia are in the medical department.
