Corinthians resumed training on Thursday morning, after their defeat to Bahia in the opening match of the Brazilian Championship. Timão's focus is now on the Supercopa do Brasil, which will be decided this Sunday at 4pm (Brasília time), at Mané Garrincha, against Flamengo.

The black-and-white squad returned from Santos right after the match against Bahia and spent the night at the Dr. Joaquim Grava Training Center. The players who played more than 45 minutes at Vila Belmiro stayed indoors for a recovery session. The others took to the field after a warm-up in the gym.

The news of the day was forward Kaio César. Officially announced as a Corinthians signing, the 21-year-old player already took part in his first training session with the rest of the squad, was registered with the BID, and is available to Dorival for the Supercopa do Brasil.

He and the players who were substitutes last Wednesday participated in a possession and transition drill, followed by a small-sided game.

Corinthians have only one confirmed absence for the clash against Flamengo: midfielder José Martínez, who remains in Venezuela due to an issue with the reissuance of his passport. Meanwhile, defender Cacá, who is still in physical transition, is doubtful.

Timão is aiming to win the Supercopa do Brasil for the second time in its history. The black-and-white team won the trophy in 1991, also against Flamengo. Rubro-Negro, the current title holder, is seeking their fourth trophy.
