Corinthians’ mini pre-season hits day seven, Hugo and Vitinho recover | OneFootball

Corinthians continued, on the morning of this Wednesday (1st), its preparations for the resumption of the 2026 season. At CT Dr. Joaquim Grava, the squad led by Fernando Diniz completed its seventh consecutive day of activities during the mid-season break, with physical, technical, and tactical work.

The schedule began in the gym, where the players performed muscle-strengthening exercises. Then, on the pitch, the group took part in a warm-up before starting an activity divided into five stations, covering fundamentals such as ball possession, crossing, finishing, and high-intensity runs.

In the final part of training, Fernando Diniz led a technical-tactical exercise focused on building plays against high-pressure marking, one of the aspects the coach has been working on since his arrival at the club.

While the rest of the squad took part in the activities as normal, two players remained in recovery. Left-back Hugo, who is recovering from surgery to correct the meniscus in his right knee, and forward Vitinho, who is being treated for an injury to his right hip, carried out specific work on the pitch under the supervision of the physiotherapy department.

Corinthians will return to training on the morning of this Thursday (2), again at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava. The team’s first commitment after the break will be a friendly against Cascavel, scheduled for July 12. After that, Timão will resume its Brazilian Championship campaign with matches against Remo (23), Bahia (26), and Athletico (30).
