🗞️ Team News: São Paulo

Availability isn’t a big problem, with just the sole fitness concern for the São Paulo gaffer Hernan Crespo to be concerned with thanks to an almost full-strength group of players. Walce (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) misses out.

📰 Team News: Ceará

Owing to an otherwise available squad, there’s only a single fitness worry for the Ceará manager Tiago Nunes to be concerned with. Vítor Jacaré (Cruciate Ligament Injury) won’t be in action.
