Marcos Antonio starts gradual work with the squad | OneFootball

Back at the SuperCT after last Saturday’s (16) match against Fluminense in Rio de Janeiro in the Brazilian Championship, the squad trained with some good news this Sunday (17): midfielder Marcos Antonio, who is recovering from an injury to his right rectus femoris, began gradually rejoining his teammates this morning.

Alongside the players who were not starters at the Maracanã, the defensive midfielder took part in the warm-up and the first part of training with the group. Then, wearing the number 8 shirt, he completed an individualized session with the fitness staff.

In this Sunday’s on-field activities, led by assistants Milton Cruz and James Freitas, the players worked on crossing and finishing drills, as well as duels simulating two-on-one and three-on-two game situations.

Meanwhile, the players who featured for most of the match against Fluminense did recovery work indoors.

Center-back Alan Franco (in transition after a minor strain in his right adductor) and forward Luciano (swelling in the back of his right thigh) ran on the pitch.

This Monday (18), after the presentation of head coach Dorival Júnior, Tricolor will wrap up preparations for the clash with Millonarios (COL), which will be played next Tuesday (19) at 9:30 p.m. at MorumBIS, in the fifth round of Group C of the CONMEBOL Sudamericana.
