Corinthians focus on finishing, transitions before Flamengo clash | OneFootball

Corinthians held its second training session on Wednesday morning at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava, preparing for the match against Flamengo in the 25th round of the Brazilian Championship. Coach Dorival Júnior led an activity focused on finishing and transitions.

How was the training?

The players started the day with strength work on the pitch. Next, there was a two-on-one and two-on-two finishing exercise, organized by the coaching staff.

There was also a transition and confrontation drill with both equal numbers and numerical superiority in a reduced field. In the final part, another transition exercise alternating between three teams was carried out.

Returns and absences

Corinthians has a guaranteed reinforcement for the match against Flamengo: forward Gui Negão, who served a suspension in the 1-0 defeat to Sport at Ilha do Retiro. Dorival is still hoping to count on three more returns.

The expectation is that Dutch striker Memphis Depay, although he has not yet returned to the field, will be available. He is recovering from swelling in the back of his right thigh. Everything will depend on the player's progress throughout this week.

Midfielder Charles, in physical transition, may also be available again, as well as young midfielder Luiz Gustavo Bahia, who is undergoing treatment for swelling in his left ankle.

On the other hand, André Carrillo, who underwent surgery on his left ankle, and Rodrigo Garro, with a grade 2 injury in his right calf, remain under the care of the medical department and will miss out for Timão.
