Corinthians free to focus on Brasileirão clash and Garro’s fitness | OneFootball

Starting this Monday, Corinthians begins a week free of games to prepare for next Sunday's match against Sport, for the 24th round of the Brazilian Championship. The ball rolls at Ilha do Retiro, in Recife, at 5:30 pm (Brasília time).

The week will be dedicated to the South American and Libertadores games, as well as a delayed match for the Brasileirão. Eliminated from both continental competitions and with the calendar up to date in the national tournament, Timão will have time to train for Sunday's game.

One of Corinthians' goals during the week will be the recovery of Rodrigo Garro. The Argentine midfielder felt pain in his right calf during the warm-up for the match against Fluminense last Saturday, and became a concern for coach Dorival Júnior.

For the clash against Sport, the commander will not have striker Gui Negão available, who received his third yellow against the Rio team and is suspended.

Situation in the Brasileirão

The black and white team is looking to string together their fourth unbeaten game in the Brasileirão. The team beat Fluminense 1-0 at Maracanã, and also comes from a draw with Palmeiras, 1-1, and a victory against Vasco, 3-2.

The results have put Alvinegro in a more comfortable situation in the table. The team jumped to ninth position, with 29 points, and opened seven from the relegation zone.
