Itu (SP) – Coach Rogério Lourenço continues his strategy of working hard on the attacking side of the red-and-black squad during the preseason training in Itu. During training this Saturday (July 03.07rd) at the Spa Sports Resort, the coach led tactical attacking activities. Without the defenders in the starting lineup, he worked on balls coming out of midfield with the defensive midfielders, full-backs, and forwards of the team he fielded in Friday's (July 02.07nd) training session.

The team consisted of Léo Moura and Juan; Antônio, Willians, Camacho, and Pet; Pacheco and Paulo Sérgio. Michael and Maldonado, recovering from injuries, worked out in the gym. Midfielder Toró, who fractured his left arm, has already returned to Rio de Janeiro and is expected to spend four to six weeks recovering.

"On Monday, Toró will be examined again and will be further evaluated. The fracture was in the third metacarpal of his left hand. Michael still feels pain in his thigh and continues to train separately, but by the middle of next week he should be back training with the group," explained Dr. Marcelo Soares, the club's doctor.
