Corinthians prepare to face Internacional in Women’s Brasileirão | OneFootball

Corinthians’ women’s squad returned to training on Monday morning (17) at the Training Center after a 1-1 draw with Bahia at Arena Fonte Nova last Saturday (15), in a match valid for the 16th round of the Brazilian Championship.

With an eye on the end of the first phase of the national competition, the São Paulo black-and-white side began preparations for the clash against Internacional, scheduled for next Saturday (22) at 6 p.m. (Brasília time) at Estádio Alfredo Schürig, Fazendinha, in the final round of the Brasileirão’s opening stage.

The players who stayed on the field for more than 45 minutes against Bahia did recovery work indoors at the training center. The goal was to help the athletes’ physical recovery after the match. The rest of the squad took part in a physical activation session in the gym. Afterwards, the group went out onto the field for a small-sided training session.

Corinthians will have the week to fine-tune the final details before the match against Internacional, which will mark the end of the club’s participation in the first phase of the current Women’s Brazilian Championship. At the moment, the Brabas lead the competition with 38 points, the same total as rivals São Paulo. Timão, however, stays ahead due to goal difference (26 to 19).

Goalkeeper completes physical transition

Goalkeeper Rillary, 21, completed her transition process after undergoing an injection procedure in her elbow. As a result, after being sidelined since late July, she is now available to Emily Lima’s coaching staff. For the Brabas’ first team, she has made five appearances (three as a starter).

Midfielder remains unavailable

Andressa Alves is therefore now the only Alvinegro player in the medical department. The No. 8 is still recovering from an injury to the back of her left thigh.
