Corinthians duo train as usual, Garro works separately | OneFootball

The Corinthians squad returned to training on Monday morning after their victory in the opening match of the Campeonato Paulista and began preparations to face Red Bull Bragantino. Coach Dorival Júnior received good news during the session at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava.

Forward Yuri Alberto and midfielder Raniele, who had been training separately, joined the rest of the squad for a regular session and could be new options against Massa Bruta. The midfielder only left the pitch towards the end of the session, while the forward stayed on for extra finishing practice.

Midfielder Rodrigo Garro, meanwhile, trained separately. He is recovering from surgery on his left wrist and will continue working to maintain his fitness, without contact with his teammates.

Dutch striker Memphis Depay, who played through injury in the Copa do Brasil final, is still following an individual schedule and did not take to the field, just like José Martínez. The midfielder is in Venezuela to renew his passport and has no expected return date.

New signing on the pitch

Another new face on the pitch was defender Gabriel Paulista. Corinthians’ first signing for the 2026 season, the defender took part in his first training session with the black-and-white group. The 35-year-old signed a two-year contract with Timão after terminating his deal with Besiktas, Turkey.

He trained alongside the reserves and those not selected for the match against Ponte Preta, under Dorival Júnior’s command. The starters remained indoors for a recovery session.

Standing in the table

With the win in their opener, Corinthians start the Paulistão in second place on the table, with three points. The black-and-white team is only behind leaders São Bernardo, who thrashed Capivariano in their debut.
