Tricolor begin preparations for Flamengo clash in the Brasileirão | OneFootball

The squad trained on Thursday morning (23) at SuperCT and began preparations to face Flamengo next Sunday (26) at 6:30 p.m. at the Maracanã, in a match valid for the 20th round of the Brazilian Championship.

When the players reported back, they were split into two groups: those who played longer in last Wednesday’s (22) match against Athletico Paranaense in Bragança Paulista did recovery work indoors, while the rest trained on the pitch with head coach Dorival Júnior and his staff.

After the warm-up, the on-field activities began with an 11-on-11 game between two teams in a reduced space. The group then carried out technical drills by position.

Before traveling to Rio de Janeiro, Tricolor will have two more days of adjustments in the state capital.

Toloi

Center-back Rafael Toloi underwent imaging tests on Thursday morning (23) and was diagnosed with a strain in the back of his right thigh.

After feeling pain, the No. 2 shirt was replaced by Osorio during the first half of Wednesday night’s (22) match against Athletico Paranaense at Cícero de Souza Marques Stadium in the Brazilian Championship.

Toloi has already begun treatment with the club’s physiotherapists and will not be available for the team’s next match against Flamengo.
