Corinthians begin Libertadores last-16 preparations as Memphis Depay returns | OneFootball

According to Meu Timao, Corinthians resumed training on Tuesday morning at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava ahead of Thursday's Copa Libertadores last-16 second leg against Rosario Central, with Memphis Depay back on the grass.

The day began with strength work in the gym. After a pitch warm-up, players moved into possession drills featuring crosses and finishing.

Those who played more than 45 minutes against Cruzeiro headed indoors for recovery. The remainder stayed outside for tactical work and a small-sided game.

Depay, who has extended his contract to 31 December 2028, completed an individual session on the CT pitch. He is eligible to face Rosario Central after being entered in the CBF's BID.

Under Fernando Diniz, the squad will hold a final session on Wednesday afternoon at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava. To reach the quarter-finals in normal time, Corinthians must win by any score. If there is another draw, the tie will be settled on penalties.
