Fernando Diniz focuses on small-sided work as Corinthians step up during international break | OneFootball

Corinthians completed a third consecutive training session during the FIFA break, with Fernando Diniz prioritising small-sided and pressing work as the run-in nears.

According to Meu Timao, the squad worked on Saturday morning at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava. The day began with a gym activation, followed by a warm-up on Pitch one.

Diniz then led physical exercises, coordinated pressing drills and duels in tight spaces. The session finished with the group split into four teams for games on a reduced pitch.

Four players are absent on international duty. Goalkeeper Hugo Souza, right-back Matheuzinho and midfielder Breno Bidon are with Brazil, while holding midfielder André Carrillo is with Peru.

Corinthians sit 14th in the Brasileiro on 32 points, three ahead of Grêmio, who currently occupy the first relegation spot.

They have 10 days until their next match, away to Internacional at Beira-Rio in Porto Alegre on Wednesday seven October at 19:30, in round 29 of the Brasileirão.
