Defender, striker train partly as Corinthians eye Brasileiro return | OneFootball

After a day off, the Corinthians squad returned to training this Wednesday (30) to continue preparations during the season’s penultimate FIFA international break. The activities took place in the morning at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava, with a focus on maintaining the work ahead of the team’s next Brazilian Championship match. With today’s session, the group reached its fifth day of training during the competition break.

The schedule began in the gym, where the players performed strength exercises. Then, out on the pitch, the squad took part in a warm-up combining passing drills, possession play, and coordination movements. After that, the athletes were split into three teams, each with nine players, for small-sided activities.

During the games, head coach Fernando Diniz used the drills to guide the group on one-on-one situations and their immediate reaction after losing possession, with an emphasis on pressing opponents.

In the fitness department, Gabriel Paulista took another step in his recovery and began the transition phase, taking part in some of the activities with his teammates. Yuri Alberto also remains in this process and completed part of the training session alongside the rest of the squad.

The plan includes another session on the morning of Thursday (October 1), once again at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava. Corinthians continue to use the period without matches to improve their preparation before returning to the pitch in the Brasileirão.

The black-and-white team’s next challenge is scheduled for Wednesday (October 7) against Internacional. The match will be played at Beira-Rio, in Porto Alegre, as part of the Brazilian Championship schedule.
