Corinthians back in training after defeat, prep for Internacional | OneFootball

After the 2-1 defeat to Flamengo, the Corinthians squad returned to training on Monday afternoon and began preparations for the match against Internacional, this Wednesday, for the 26th round of the Brazilian Championship.

How was the training?

The players who played for more than 45 minutes against the Rubro-Negro performed a regenerative activity at the Dr. Joaquim Grava Training Center. The others went to the field and, after a strength workout in the gym, took part in a possession, confrontation, and finishing exercise with numerical superiority.

Coach Dorival Júnior also led a training session in a reduced space. Finally, the athletes worked on free kick drills and passing exchanges.

Timão will return to training this Tuesday, again in the afternoon, for the final training session before departing for Porto Alegre.

Major absences

As confirmed by Dorival in a press conference, forward Memphis Depay is still not expected to be available for the match against Inter. He is treating edema in the posterior muscle of his right thigh and is being prepared for the match against Mirassol, next Saturday. Another absence is Yuri Alberto, who received his third yellow card and will have to serve a suspension.

Defender André Ramalho, with a strain in the posterior muscle of his right thigh, should also remain sidelined, as well as Rodrigo Garro (muscle injury in his right calf) and André Carrillo (ligament injury in his left ankle).

On the other hand, Charles, who is recovering from pain in his right knee, may return to the squad.
