In the second year, São Paulo can get ‘more’ from the left
If no one leaves the team in the next period, São Paulo will have problems on the right side next season. Counting on the possible return of injured players, Dorival Júnior may have to deal with six options for the position: Rafinha, Igor Vinícius, Nathan, Raí Ramos, Orejuela and Moreira.

This was largely caused by injuries to Igor Vinícius and Moreira, who required surgery. Faced with this scenario, Orejuela and Nathan returned to the team. Shortly afterwards, still in the group stage of the Campeonato Paulista, Rafinha suffered a sprain in the derby against Palmeiras, at Allianz Parque. The option was to look for another name on the market. This scenario featured Raí Ramos, who stood out at Ituano after influencing Corinthians' elimination in Paulistão. However, shortly afterwards Rafinha recovered and once again intensified the competition for the position. Based on experience, Rafinha became the first option for the position. Under the leadership of Dorival Júnior, he was present in twelve matches. Over the course of the season, he played a total of 18 matches. + Launch! new brand debuts and repositions itself in the sports media market But the main doubt is about the return of Moreira and Igor Vinícius, who have already missed half the season. Moreira, trained in the São Paulo youth categories, began the physical transition process in April, after suffering a serious injury to the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, in October. Therefore, there is a chance that the relationship will resurface in the second half of the year, as treatment for this injury usually takes ten to twelve months on average. Igor Vinícius, an important player last season, played just two games this year before undergoing pubic surgery. He also began the physical transition process at the end of April, but still does not train with the rest of the group. In both cases there is no definitive date, but given the recovery process it is expected that they will be able to return to work this year. + Click here and see how to bet on the Brasileirão + All Brasileirão games can be found on Prime Video.

Of the names currently available, Orejuela is one of the least used. The Colombian player has not been on the field since April 27 and has played just eight games this year. Nathan's future is also uncertain, which could alleviate this dispute in the scenarios presented. The full-back has been in the sights of European football since March. It is also worth highlighting that some of the names mentioned have contracts that expire at the end of the year. This is the case of Rafinha, one of the team's veterans.
