Calleri and Nestor available for Sunday
Firstly, it's time to celebrate, finally, Calleri and Nestor are available for Sunday in the game against Bahia.
São Paulo was Paulista champion in 2021, and after that the club has been suffering from successive injuries.
More than 35 muscle injuries during the year, consequently the team has had constant absences.
Injuries hinder the team's performance
Both Hernam Crespo and Rogério Ceni are unable to maintain a lineup due to absences.
The ideal team ends up remaining only in the fan's mind, absences are very disruptive.
Even after returning, the player cannot keep up with the team, it takes a while to get into the rhythm.
The team ends up losing a lot of its performance.
Different workouts for both
Nestor trained among the reserves, or with athletes who played less than 45 minutes, while Calleri trained with the starters.
Nestor had suffered an ankle injury while Calleri complained of muscle problems.
Rogério Ceni will not be absent due to suspension
São Paulo will not have anyone suspended for this next round, Rogério Ceni hopes to count on Calleri and Nestor to form the team.
Close to the Libertadores area
If the fans are already excited about the improvement in the team's performance, even more so now that they are just 4 points behind seventh place.
São Paulo has 37 points, just 4 points behind Internacional, and 7 points behind sixth. It is possible to search.
Now the club is aiming for a direct place in the Libertadores, despite the possibility of Brazil having 8 or 9 places.
For this, São Paulo will not only depend on itself, it will depend on other clubs losing their points.
With Calleri the team improves a lot
Calleri returned to the club with some distrust among the fans, but it was enough for him to enter the field in a few games to put an end to any doubts.
A player who helps not only with goals, but by trapping the ball in front, and creating a wall for other athletes.
Calleri being available will be excellent news for the fans.
For Nestor, coach Rogério Ceni has other alternatives, for Calleri we don't have, at least no one with the same ability.
Finally, having players available for games will open up different tactical opportunities for Ceni.
Let's see how he will form the team, with 2 or 3 defenders, or with 3 attackers, let's wait until Sunday and see.
