Corinthians train with key players back for Bragantino clash | OneFootball

After the victory against Grêmio, the Corinthians squad returned to training at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava this Monday and began preparations to visit Red Bull Bragantino for the 32nd round of the Brazilian Championship. Coach Dorival Júnior counts on some returns for the match in Bragança Paulista.

Midfielders Raniele, José Martínez, and Breno Bidon, who were suspended in the last game, will strengthen the team. With this, Dorival will have almost the entire squad available. The only absences will be Vitinho and André Luiz, both injured—the latter, in fact, is already training with the ball.

How was the training?

The players who played more than 45 minutes against Grêmio did a recovery activity inside the training center. The others went out to the field and took part in a ball possession drill and another exercise of ten against ten on a reduced pitch.

Timão has just one more training session before facing Bragantino. The group will finish preparations on Tuesday afternoon.

Hugo called up

One of the day’s highlights was the call-up of goalkeeper Hugo Souza, who has just recovered from a shoulder dislocation. The keeper was once again remembered by Carlo Ancelotti and will represent the Brazilian National Team in friendlies against Senegal and Tunisia, on the 15th and 18th, respectively.
