Corinthians’ Rillary completes physical transition and is available for remainder of the season | OneFootball

Corinthians resumed training at CT Joaquim Grava on Monday ahead of the last round of the Brasileirão Feminino. According to Meu Timao, goalkeeper Rillary has completed her physical transition after an elbow issue and is available to head coach Emily Lima.

She had been sidelined since late July, having undergone an elbow injection before the Paulista meeting with Palmeiras. She then missed four matches, against Flamengo, Santos and Bahia in the league, and Mirassol in the state competition.

During the same period, fellow goalkeeper Lelê was also out. The number 12 suffered tendinopathy in the posterior of her right thigh during the return from the World Cup break and was back in the squad in early August. In that spell, Emily Lima’s choices in goal were limited to Nicole and Ana Morganti.

Rillary has played only three times this season. She first featured in February, a 2-2 draw with Fluminense in the league under Lucas Piccinato. Two months later she started the 8-0 win over América, of Mexico, in the Teal Rising Cup, then the 2-1 defeat to São Paulo in May in the Paulista.

With the number 32 back, Andressa Alves is the only absentee. The number 8 is recovering from a posterior left leg injury and remains under medical care. Corinthians face Internacional at Fazendinha on Saturday at 18:00.
