Corinthians team news: Gabriel Paulista, Carrillo and Breno Bidon miss CT session | OneFootball

Corinthians prepared to face Fluminense on Sunday as Gabriel Paulista, André Carrillo and Breno Bidon sat out Friday’s session at CT Joaquim Grava.

According to Globo.com, the workout was the penultimate before the 28th-round fixture at Neo Química Arena, scheduled for 16:00 Brasília time.

Gabriel Paulista is recovering from pain in the pubic area, Breno Bidon has minor discomfort in the back of his left thigh, and Carrillo stayed indoors for load management. The day’s main positive was André Ramalho, who trained fully after a bout of labyrinthitis that kept him out for about a month.

Fernando Diniz will lead one more session on Saturday, and a probable XI is Hugo Souza, Matheuzinho, João Pedro Tchoca (Gabriel Paulista), Gustavo Henrique, Matheus Bidu, Raniele, Allan, Breno Bidon (Carrillo), Rodrigo Garro, Kaio César and Memphis Depay.

Friday at the training ground also featured a meeting between the team’s captains and leaders of the organised supporters’ groups. It took place in the press room and lasted about one hour. Attendees included Hugo Souza, Gustavo Henrique, Raniele, Rodrigo Garro, Memphis Depay and Fernando Diniz, plus president Osmar Stabile, executive director Marcelo Paz and football manager Julio Cesar.

The staff ran a possession drill with crosses and finishing, then split the squad into three teams of eight for small-sided games. Eliminated from the Conmebol Libertadores, Corinthians are winless in five league matches, sit 14th, and are four points above the relegation zone.
