Corinthians women have first session in US, eyeing Teal Rising Cup | OneFootball

On the morning of this Tuesday (7), Corinthians’ women’s squad held their first training session in the United States. That is because next Thursday (9), at 10 p.m. Brasília time, the Brabas will take the field at CPKC Stadium to face the Kansas City Current in the Teal Rising Cup semifinals. Last year, Alvinegro played in the same competition and finished as runners-up.

At the Kansas City Current Training Center itself, head coach Emily Lima led technical and tactical activities, as well as repeated set-piece drills. Before that, the Corinthians squad had started the day with a physical workout in the hotel gym where they are staying during this period on U.S. soil.

Corinthians, it is worth noting, named 19 players for the tournament: two goalkeepers, three full-backs, three center-backs, seven midfielders, and four forwards. Due to the FIFA international window, the Brabas have several absences for the competition: Lelê, Thaís Ferreira, Gi Fernandes, Duda Sampaio, and Ana Vitória — with the Brazilian National Team, coached by Arthur Elias — in addition to Dayana Rodríguez and Gisela Robledo, who were called up to represent Venezuela and Colombia, respectively.

On the other hand, 19-year-old forward Jhonson was left out of the trip by technical decision. There are also four players in the medical department: center-backs Thaís Regina and Agustina Barroso, midfielder Juliana Passari, and winger Carol Nogueira. Before Thursday’s clash, the Brabas will hold one more training session, precisely this Wednesday (8).

The Teal Rising Cup final, if the Brabas qualify, will be played next Sunday (12). The Brabas are coming off three straight wins this season and are in good form. In the Brazilian Championship, the club from Parque São Jorge leads the national competition with 13 points — four wins, one draw, and one loss — with 17 goals scored and seven conceded.
