With possible returns, Corinthians step up preparations for Santos derby | OneFootball

This Sunday, Corinthians continued their preparation for the Alvinegro Classic against Santos, scheduled for this Wednesday. With the completion of the activity, Timão has only two more days of training left before the match. For the game, coach Dorival Júnior might have the returns of Rodrigo Garro, André Ramalho, Charles, and André Carrillo.

How the training went

After a day off, the athletes started the day with a strength-focused activity in the gym. Then, they moved to the field for a warm-up before technical training sessions tailored for each sector of the squad.

Next, coach Dorival Júnior led a tactical session simulating game situations, focusing on the match against Santos. At the end of the activities, a set-piece exercise was conducted, including preparation for confrontations in case of rebounds.

Possible returns

The quartet André Ramalho, Charles, André Carrillo, and Rodrigo Garro are in transition and might at least be among those listed for Corinthians. All of them were present in the training videos released by the club this Sunday.

Among the four, Carrillo is the least likely to return. The Peruvian, who underwent surgery on his left ankle, hasn't played since early August.

Absences

In total, Timão has five absences for the classic. Called up, Hugo Souza (Brazil), Romero (Paraguay), and Félix Torres (Ecuador) have commitments the day before the match and are unlikely to arrive in time to play.

Besides them, Matheus Bidu, suspended, and Vitinho, with a knee injury, will also be absent.
