Corinthians complete day six of mid-season camp with double session | OneFootball

Corinthians completed day six of their mid-season camp at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava on Tuesday. Fernando Diniz oversaw a double session ahead of a busy second half in the Campeonato Brasileiro, Copa do Brasil and Copa Libertadores.

According to Meu Timao, the morning started in the gym with activation work. On the pitch, players warmed up then drilled attack versus defence, plus penetration and finishing.

Diniz added a confrontational exercise on pressing after regaining possession, transitions and defensive balance. In the afternoon the squad returned to the gym for strength work.

Jesse Lingard will miss the next few days after being allowed to travel to England for his grandfather’s funeral. The attacking midfielder is due back on Saturday, five July.

Memphis Depay remains absent. The No 10 was with the Netherlands at the World Cup until Monday, when they lost to Morocco on penalties after a 1-1 draw in normal time. He did not play and will take a holiday period, not yet set by the club.

Corinthians train through 12 July, then face Cascavel in a friendly at 16:00 at Estádio Olímpico Regional in Cascavel, Paraná. Their first official game back is on 23 July at 19:30 against Remo at Neo Química Arena, the final round of the first half of the Campeonato Brasileiro.
