Corinthians women finish prep for Bahia Brasileiro semi-final, injury doubts and probable XI | OneFootball

Corinthians' women completed their final session on Sunday morning ahead of the Brasileiro semi-final second leg against Bahia at Neo Química Arena on Monday at 21:30, holding a 1-0 lead from last Monday's first leg at Arena Fonte Nova.

Emily Lima's squad ran activation work in the gym, then warmed up on the pitch and drilled tactical details. Set plays and penalties were also rehearsed.

"We had a great week of training and focused on correcting our mistakes from the first game. We know our quality and we have worked hard for this match," said defender Thais Ferreira, speaking to Corinthians TV.

Midfielder Ana Vitória, recovering from an abdominal injury, is expected to remain out. Centre-back Erika is a doubt after feeling discomfort in her left knee during the first-leg warm-up.

Probable Corinthians XI: Nicole Ramos, Thaís Regina, Duda Mineira (Erika), Thais Ferreira, Gi Fernandes, Duda Sampaio, Vic Albuquerque (Jaqueline), Belén Aquino, Tamires, Jhonson, Gabi Zanotti.

A draw would take Corinthians into the final, while a defeat by one goal would push the tie to penalties. If they progress, the second leg of the final will be away to São Paulo, who eliminated Flamengo and secured the best overall campaign.
