With new faces, Corinthians return to training and start prep for Sport | OneFootball

After two days off, the cast of Corinthians returned to training on Tuesday afternoon and began preparation for the match against Sport, for the 24th round of the Brazilian Championship. The presentation at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava had some news.

Midfielder José Martínez, who missed the 1-0 victory over Fluminense last Saturday, trained with the ball. The Ecuadorian has been recovering from a trauma in his left ankle. Charles, who had knee pain, also participated in activities on the field. Therefore, the duo may be available for coach Dorival Júnior.

In images released by Timão, Raniele also appeared on the field. He, who is in physical transition, is doubtful for the next match, as is Memphis Depay, with a thigh edema.

André Carrillo, who underwent ankle surgery, Rodrigo Garro, with a right calf injury, and Gui Negão, suspended, are certain absences. On the other hand, Breno Bidon returns from suspension and strengthens Corinthians.

How was the training?

The players started the day with a strength workout in the gym. On the field, Dorival led a post-loss pressure training and another focused on ball possession.

There was also a face-off exercise in a reduced space and a running shot supplement. The squad will return on Wednesday morning to continue preparation.

Vitinho evaluates Corinthians' phase

Striker Vitinho, who debuted as a starter against Fluminense, talked about the team's good moment, which comes from four victories in the last five games.

“It was a happy presentation after a positive result. We are, step by step, evolving. Achieving goals, which is to score points and not lose games. This brings a light and motivating environment for the week and for the next challenge,” said the player.

“I think the main thing is to think about our goal, which is to score points. Continue our victories. Regardless of what the opponent is going through, we have to focus on our goal, so we prepare and arrive better for the game. We will find opponents ahead of us and below us, but the goal and the thought must be the same: to continue winning in the championship,” he concluded.
