Corinthians return after Copa do Brasil, start Bragantino prep | OneFootball

Corinthians returned to training on Friday morning (7) at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava and began preparing for their next Campeonato Brasileiro match. After taking the field in the Copa do Brasil the previous night, the black-and-white squad is now turning its attention to the clash against Red Bull Bragantino in the 22nd round of the national competition.

Due to the short interval between matches, the coaching staff split the group into two activities. The players who stayed on the field for more than 45 minutes against Internacional did recovery work in the indoor facilities at the training center.

The other players started the day with strength exercises in the gym. Afterwards, the group went out onto the pitch, where they took part in a practice match under coach Fernando Diniz.

The return to training took place just hours after their elimination in the Copa do Brasil round of 16. Last Thursday (6), Corinthians beat Internacional 2-1 at Neo Química Arena, but the result was not enough to go through. Having lost the first leg 2-0 at Beira-Rio, the black-and-white side exited the competition.

Now, the preparation period for the next match will be short. Corinthians will hold one more session on Saturday morning (8), again at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava, when Fernando Diniz will lead the final training session before the Brasileirão clash.

Timão visit Red Bull Bragantino this Sunday (9) at 6:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Estádio Cícero de Souza Marques, in Bragança Paulista, for the 22nd round of the Campeonato Brasileiro.
