Corinthians practise penalties and move on to face Athletico-PR | OneFootball

The Corinthians advanced in their preparation to face Athletico-PR in the second leg of the Copa do Brasil quarter-finals. This Monday, at the Dr. Joaquim Grava Training Center, Timão held their fifth training session during the FIFA date and continued the work started last week aiming at the decisive match.

After strength training in the gym and warming up on the field, the team conducted two tactical drills. In the first, coach Dorival Júnior implemented a confrontation game with an offensive focus. In the second, the coach organized a set-piece activity with confrontation after the ball was cleared. At the end of the training, penalty kicks were also practiced.

For the match, Dorival should be able to count on the important return of Yuri Alberto, recovered from inguinal hernia surgery. Matheuzinho returns after a strain on his right thigh, while Matheus Bidu is also available after serving a suspension.

Corinthians also trained without the players called up this Monday, but the club's management is preparing a task force to have the selected Hugo Souza, Memphis Depay, José Martínez, Félix Torres, and Romero available. Some of them may be preserved, but the tendency is that all will be available on the bench.

The only confirmed absence for Corinthians against Furacão is the injured Peruvian André Carrillo. Gazeta Esportiva found that midfielder Raniele, recovering from a left thigh injury, also has a chance to be listed. However, this depends on the player's progress in the coming days.

The team will finish their preparation for the clash this Tuesday. Corinthians will host Athletico-PR at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) this Wednesday, at the Neo Química Arena, in the second leg of the Copa do Brasil quarter-finals.
