São Paulo excludes Lucas from Palmeiras match

São Paulo will not include Lucas in Sunday's match against Palmeiras due to concerns about the artificial turf at Arena Barueri. The midfielder-attacker, recently recovered from a knee injury sustained on artificial turf, will miss the Brasileirão match. The decision stems from the player's previous injury on a similar surface, prompting caution from the club. Oscar is available after recovering from a hamstring injury. The club's director expressed concerns about Lucas playing on artificial turf, citing his recent injury history.
