Trio called up by Dorival leaves Corinthians camp at Copinha | OneFootball

The Corinthians announced this Tuesday some changes to the roster for the Copinha. Three players have been called by coach Dorival Júnior to join the professional team and will miss the tournament for Timão. They are midfielders Gui Amorim and Luiz Gustavo Bahia, and right-back João Vitor 'Jacaré'.

The trio has been training with the main group since last year. Given the uncertain situation, as the club is still unable to sign new players, Dorival preferred to call them back to join the team's preparation for the Campeonato Paulista.

Of these, the only one who has not yet had a chance in a professional team match is Gui Amorim, who is only 17 years old.

Substitutes

In their place, Corinthians called Dodô, Lucca Caramico, and Molina. The youngsters will head to Jaú, where the Timão delegation is based for the Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior.

Interestingly, this Tuesday, Lucca Caramico even trained with the professionals at the Dr. Joaquim Grava Training Center. The news of the call-up came right after the session, which was open to the press.
