Tricolour start preparations to face Flamengo 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.

The squad’s return was split into two groups: the players who featured for longer in the match against Athletico Paranaense last Wednesday (22), 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 11v11 game in a reduced space. Afterwards, the group carried out technical drills by position.

Before traveling to Rio de Janeiro, Tricolor will have two more days of fine-tuning in the capital of São Paulo.

Toloi

Defender 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 number 2 was replaced by Osorio during the first half of Wednesday night’s match (22) against Athletico Paranaense at the Cícero de Souza Marques stadium, for 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.
