With eyes on the Brasileirão, Tricolor start work for Chapecoense | OneFootball

After eliminating Bolívar and advancing to the CONMEBOL Sudamericana quarterfinals, Tricolor began preparations this Thursday (20) at SuperCT to face Chapecoense next Sunday (23) at 6:30 p.m. at Arena Condá in the Brazilian Championship.

The squad’s morning session began with strength exercises for the lower and upper body in the gym, along with mobility work and technical drills out on the pitch under the supervision of the fitness staff.

Then, a possession-based drill was held, requiring intense pressing. After this stage of training, the starters from the match against the Bolivians headed indoors for a recovery session.

The team’s return also featured four-on-four matchups and scrimmages between two teams for the rest of the group, which trained alongside center back Rafael Toloi: the No. 2 completed the transition protocol over the past few days after suffering a strain in the back of his right thigh and trained with his teammates.

Forward Lucca, who is recovering from a fractured jaw suffered in an accident on the 1st, resumed activities at SuperCT and trained in the gym. He will continue following this work schedule with the fitness staff over the next few days.

Meanwhile, center back Arboleda (swelling in the left adductor) and defensive midfielder Bobadilla (pain in the right knee) remained under treatment at REFFIS Plus, while forward Lucas ran on the pitch under the supervision of the physiotherapists.

Before traveling to Chapecó, Tricolor will have two more days of adjustments in the capital of São Paulo.
