Now, however, it appears they may go into Sunday’s crucial encounter with leaders Vasco da Gama deprived of goalkeeper Rogerio Ceni and star striker Luis Fabiano.
The forward’s pain is particularly worrying for São Paulo, as the discomfort in his right thigh is close to the area in which the ex-Sevilla underwent surgery earlier this yeat. He will now undergo tests to see the gravity of the problem.
For Rogério Ceni, it is a left ankle problem that will be examined on Friday, but may see the iconic goalkeeper miss out on the action after 133 consecutive starts.
