Diego Costa is preparing to solidify himself as one of the directors of the São Paulo club in 2023
Diego Costa could have one of his best years as a professional in São Paulo in 2023, as the defender works to recover physically and take on the leadership of Rogério Cen's team, despite his young age. The 23-year-old midfielder has already been an important part of the team this season, having even acted as captain in some of the team's matches. The moment becomes even more important for the player because there are few defender options on the team. > See the Campeonato Paulista 2023 table Related São Paulo São Paulo negotiates with Grupo City to extend Ferrares' loan São Paulo 12/27/2022 São Paulo CBF releases Beraldo from the South American Under-20 Team São Paulo São Paulo 27/27 12/ 2022 São Paulo São Paulo and Lucas Moura discuss possible return to São Paulo 12/27/2022 > Follow player movements between national and international clubs With Diego Costa diagnosed with tendonitis at the beginning of October and absent from the last games of the year, Rogério Cen had to change teams and ended up giving Ferraresi more opportunities. Léo and Luizão, who are no longer on the team. Furthermore, the coach also improvised Rafinha in the sector, making Diego Costa's error even more evident in his absence. That's why the player who had a bone fragment removed from his left knee began the recovery process under the care of physiotherapists in Reffis last week and intends to recover as quickly as possible. At the moment, Tricolor's most needy sector is defense. With the departure of Miranda, Luizão and Léo, coach Rogério Cen's options are limited, as he only has Ferraresi, Arboleda, Walce, who can be loaned, and Beraldo, released from Brazil's under-20 team. Due to lack of space, Argentine defender Alan Franco, 26 years old, who belongs to the North American Atlanta United, is a priority on the São Paulo board next season. Follow Lance!
