O São Paulo will feature the returns of Arboleda and Diego Costa to the starting lineup on Wednesday night, at 9:35 pm, in Brasília, against Inter de Limeira, in a delayed game from the fifth round of Paulistão. The duo, who were suspended against Guarani, are once again available to Thiago Carpini.

The trend in Brasília is for Lucas and Wellington Rato, who entered the second half of the game against Bugre, to return to being starters.

A likely São Paulo may have Rafael, Igor Vinícius, Arboleda, Diego Costa and Welington; Alisson and Pablo Maia; Lucas, Luciano (Michel Araújo) and Wellington Rato; Calleri.

This Monday’s training was attended by Colombian James Rodríguez. The board finalizes the procedures at the São Paulo Football Federation to register the player in the place of Luiz Gustavo, who suffered an injury to his Achilles tendon and will no longer play in the State Championship.
