Corinthians train again before away clash with Sport in Brasileirão

By Fabio Luigi / Central do Timão Editorial Team

On the morning of Wednesday, September 17, Corinthians held their second training session of the week at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava – this time open to the press – in preparation for their next match in the 2025 Brazilian Championship. The Alvinegro will face Sport this Sunday, September 21, at Ilha do Retiro, at 5:30 PM (Brasília time), for the 24th round of the national competition.

The Corinthians squad started the day with an activation session in the gym. Afterwards, the players warmed up on the pitch and then performed a transition drill with numerical superiority and finishing. Coach Dorival Júnior organized a small-sided game with numerical superiority in attack.

Finally, the Corinthians squad was divided into two groups for offensive and defensive drills. Central do Timão was present at the training at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava and observed that two of the main standouts of the session were right-back João Vitor ‘Jacaré’ (18 years old) and midfielder André Luiz (19 years old), who are integrated into the main team along with other young players from the academy.

Regarding injured players, midfielder Raniele, who is recovering from a muscle injury and undergoing transition work, started the warm-up with the squad and then trained separately. Midfielder Charles, who missed the last match due to knee pain, trained separately from the group, doing running drills on the field next to the training session.

André Carrillo (recovering from a ligament injury in his left knee), Rodrigo Garro (grade 2 calf injury), and Memphis Depay (edema in his right thigh) did internal work in the gym. Left-back Hugo Farias was held out of this morning's training session, as he suffered a knock during Monday’s activity.

Midfielder José Martínez, recovered from an ankle trauma and surgery on his left hand, participated normally in the activities and should be available for the weekend match. During training, center-back André Ramalho and left-back Fabrizio Angileri gave the coaching staff a scare—the former after a challenge and the latter limping with foot pain—but both returned to training normally afterwards.
