Corinthians were back at CT Joaquim Grava on Friday after a 3-0 defeat to Red Bull Bragantino, starting preparations for Sunday’s clássico with São Paulo.

The coach still faces likely absentees, Memphis Depay, muscle rebalancing, Rodrigo Garro, left wrist surgery, and José Martínez, Venezuelan passport reissue. Raniele has trained with the group but was not listed in Bragança Paulista and remains a doubt.

The team will hold their final session on Saturday morning. After beating Ponte Preta in their opener, Corinthians remain on three points in the Paulistão, sitting eighth. The derby is scheduled for Sunday 18 at 16:00 at Neo Química Arena.
