After two days off following the 1-1 draw against Palmeiras in Itaquera, during the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship, Corinthians returned to the Dr. Joaquim Grava Training Center and held their first training session during the FIFA Date period, focusing on the final stretch of the 2025 season.

Next Wednesday, September 10, the Alvinegro will host Athletico-PR at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at the Neo Química Arena for the second leg of the Copa do Brasil quarter-finals. The group of athletes started the day with physical activation and then went to the field for warm-up.

Subsequently, a ball possession, transition, and post-loss pressure drill was conducted. A small-sided game was also held. In a statement, Corinthians also updated the medical status of forward Yuri Alberto and right-back Matheuzinho.

The striker, recovered from inguinal hernia surgery, completed the physical transition process and is training normally with the squad. Additionally, the number 2, who was substituted due to muscle discomfort in the match against Athletico-PR away from home last Wednesday, the 27th, and diagnosed the following day with overload in the right thigh's posterior muscle, worked without limitations.

Yuri Alberto hasn't played since August 11, in Corinthians' 2-1 defeat to Juventude away from home, in the last round of the first half of the Brazilian Championship. Currently in Corinthians' medical department are midfielders Raniele (muscle injury in the posterior thigh), José Martínez (surgery after a hand fracture), and André Carrillo (recovering from a ligament injury in the left ankle).

The Corinthians squad will resume training on the morning of this Thursday, September 4, at the Dr. Joaquim Grava Training Center. It is worth noting that the following players were not present at the squad's return due to the FIFA Date: goalkeeper Hugo Souza (Brazil), defender Félix Torres (Ecuador), midfielder José Martínez (Venezuela), and forwards Ángel Romero (Paraguay) and Memphis Depay (Netherlands).
