Lingard trains as Corinthians prepare for Coritiba clash | OneFootball

The Corinthians held a tactical training session on Friday morning, continuing their preparation for the match against Coritiba. The new addition, Jesse Lingard, participated in the activities led by coach Dorival Júnior on the field at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava.

Although he is already training with the group, the English attacking midfielder is not expected to be available for the match against Coxa. The club still needs to regularize the player's work documentation. Additionally, Lingard has been out of action for three months and will need to regain match fitness before being selected.

Meanwhile, midfielder Raniele worked on the field and is expected to play. He stayed indoors during Thursday's activity. Forwards Yuri Alberto and Kaio César have been training normally with the rest of the squad and are expected to strengthen the team.

Another possible addition is Zakaria Labyad. The Moroccan midfielder has been training with his new teammates for about four weeks and may make his debut.

Training Details

The Corinthians players started the day with a strength workout in the gym. Then, they moved to the field for an attack versus defense drill, focusing on offensive construction.

Coach Dorival Júnior also conducted two tactical exercises of ten versus ten, enhancing strategies aimed at play construction.

Corinthians has three more training sessions before facing Coritiba. The squad has a day off on Saturday and will resume preparation for the match on Sunday morning.

The clash, valid for the fifth round of the Brazilian Championship, is scheduled for next Wednesday at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at the Neo Química Arena.

Timão is seeking recovery after being eliminated by Novorizontino in the semifinals of the Paulistão. Dorival Júnior's team is in third place in the Série A standings, with seven points.
