Luiz Gustavo comemora o gol marcado pelo São Paulo contra a Portuguesa no Campeonato Paulista (Paulo Pinto e Nilton Fukuda/saopaulofc.net)
O volante Luiz Gustavo voltou a frequentar as dependências do CT da Barra Funda. Aos 37 anos, o experiente meio-campista iniciou um cronograma focado no fortalecimento muscular, após um longo período de recuperação devido a lesão. O retorno ao ambiente do clube é um passo importante no processo de reintegração ao elenco.
Apesar do avanço, a volta aos gramados ainda levará um tempo. A previsão é que o jogador esteja apto para atuar apenas após o mês de agosto, respeitando todos os protocolos físicos e clínicos definidos pelo departamento médico do Tricolor. O clube mantém postura conservadora diante do histórico físico do atleta.
Jogador ainda não teve sequência de jogos em 2025
Luiz Gustavo assinou com o São Paulo para dar mais experiência e segurança ao setor de meio-campo são-paulino. No entanto, esta lesão tem impedido o volante de somar minutos com a camisa do Tricolor Paulista. Mesmo com expectativa da torcida, seu retorno continua sendo adiado por motivos médicos.
A comissão técnica trabalha com a possibilidade de contar com o jogador no segundo semestre, período em que o São Paulo estará envolvido em partidas decisivas de Brasileirão e, dependendo do cenário, Copa Libertadores e Copa do Brasil. A presença de um atleta experiente como Luiz Gustavo é estratégica para o time.
Treinos são focados em fortalecimento muscular e recuperação física
No momento, Luiz Gustavo participa de atividades em dois períodos, voltadas especialmente para recondicionamento muscular. O volante ainda não treina com bola nem com o restante do elenco. O objetivo é que o jogador atinja o melhor nível físico antes de ser reintegrado completamente aos trabalhos táticos de Crespo.
A evolução do quadro tem monitoramento semanal. Internamente, a avaliação é de que o retorno ao CT já representa um avanço importante no cronograma de recuperação. O jogador, inclusive, tem mostrado empenho em voltar à melhor forma possível.
São Paulo aposta na experiência para reta final da temporada
Caso o planejamento siga como esperado, Luiz Gustavo poderá reforçar o São Paulo em um momento crucial da temporada. Sua bagagem internacional — com passagens por Bayern de Munique, Wolfsburg e Seleção Brasileira — tem um diferencial dentro do elenco e com ambições em múltiplas frentes.
A expectativa é que, com a volta gradual, o volante seja mais uma opção confiável para a comissão técnica nas fases mais exigentes do calendário. Por enquanto, o São Paulo mantém o foco em preservar o jogador para que ele retorne 100% preparado.

The legacy of Lionel Messi’s underwhelming time as a Paris Saint-Germain player
May 2023 proved to be a watershed month for Paris Saint-Germain.Up to that point, the French giants’ sporting project seemed to be faltering, certainly in relation to their ultimate goal of lifting the Champions League. Serial winners domestically, PSG had reached the point where only success in Europe’s premier club competition could bring them the validation they craved.AdvertisementThe problem they had was that nothing they did seemed to bring them closer. Even the signing of one of the world’s greatest players in Lionel Messi, who joined on a free transfer in August 2021, had not sufficiently moved the dial. If anything, adding the Argentinian to a front line already containing fellow stars Kylian Mbappe and Neymar only served to create additional layers of complexity and dysfunction.Two years on, they are finally European champions thanks to a 5-0 rout of Inter […]
Club World Cup prize money rankings: How much has each team earned so far?
Forty-eight games down, 15 to go.FIFA’s new, engorged Club World Cup has completed its group stage, 16 clubs are on their way home and, over the next fortnight, the remaining 16 will tussle to lift a trophy so gaudy even Louis XIV might have turned his nose up at it.Alongside that (notably heavy) trinket, whoever runs out victorious in East Rutherford in mid-July will also bank themselves a hefty cash prize. The winners of this summer’s tournament will earn a further $74.1million (£54m), including $40m from the final alone, on top of what they have already pocketed from the competition — and much of FIFA’s $1billion prize pot has now been allocated.AdvertisementEven before the round of 16 begins, we already know where nearly three-quarters of the money will go: $525m in participation fees were doled out before a ball was […]
Have Club World Cup attendances really been that bad?
The group stage of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup has concluded and 48 of the tournament’s 63 matches have now taken place.The competition, which is being hosted in the United States, drew plenty of criticism in the build-up — including for how many games were being held in large, out-of-town stadiums in cities traditionally lacking in football (or soccer) fandom.AdvertisementSo what have attendances actually been like? How many stadiums have come close to filling all of their seats? How have crowd sizes compared to the American-hosted 1994 men’s World Cup and previous Club World Cups? And which have been the most and least-watched teams and groups at the tournament?Here, The Athletic dives into the numbers and lays out the facts surrounding the attendances so far.Firstly, this is what the attendance has been at each game so far at the […]
‘Long and slow’: For stagnant Wild, let’s hope Day 2 of the NHL Draft is more eventful than Day 1
ST. PAUL, Minn. — Well, just like Bill Guerin said it would be, that sure was boring.The Minnesota Wild didn’t have a first-round pick Friday for Day 1 of the NHL Draft after their trade with the Columbus Blue Jackets last November to acquire David Jiricek, the 21-year-old defenseman and No. 6 pick in the 2022 NHL Draft.AdvertisementIn the locker room of the Wild’s practice facility, the team created a remote war room draped with Wild sweaters in the background, including a special one with the nameplate “SHERO,” which, unfortunately for them, never saw the light of day on the big screen at Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.The camera and Internet connection were set up in case the Wild somehow regained a first-round pick and could welcome a new player virtually.But instead, for more than four hours during what felt […]

Enzo Fernandez, from Benfica to Chelsea: Is he finally justifying the £106m fee?
Benfica are not rooting for Enzo Fernandez to become a world champion this time around.Back in December 2022, the sight of Fernandez lifting the World Cup trophy in Qatar was celebrated vicariously in the red corner of Lisbon as it was in his home city of Buenos Aires.He had come into the competition as a substitute and his elevation into Lionel Scaloni’s starting XI after scoring a spectacular goal off the bench in a 2-0 win against Mexico had changed the trajectory of Argentina’s tournament, rebalancing the midfield supply lines into Lionel Messi.AdvertisementFernandez had been a Benfica player for only six months then, but it was already clear the club would make a huge profit on the €10million (£8.5m; $12m at current rates) fee, plus €8million in add-ons, paid to acquire him from River Plate in the summer of 2022.
