The 2023-24 Brasileirão resumes on 2 October with São Paulo facing Santos. Domingos Duarte will not be part of the team for this match. The club has been preparing for the return to action, with the first training session during the Data Fifa break taking place at the Barra Funda training centre. The players had two days off at the start of the week, with only those recovering from injuries attending the centre for treatment. The focus of the training session on Wednesday was on physical work, with the players doing exercises to strengthen their muscles and aerobics. São Paulo will train again on Thursday, with the first session on the pitch likely to focus on preparation for the upcoming match against Santos.
