At Monday’s return, the players were divided into groups. The athletes who played more than 45 minutes against Atlético-MG stayed indoors at the training center for recovery and regenerative activities.

Meanwhile, the other players went to Field 4 of the training center, where they took part in a team session led by Fernando Diniz. The activity also included youth academy players, who were used to complete the training.

Corinthians will still hold one more training session before the clash against the Argentine club. The final workout is scheduled for Tuesday afternoon (26), again at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava.

In the first meeting between the teams in this edition of the Libertadores, Corinthians beat Platense 2-0 in Buenos Aires in the group stage opener. On that occasion, Kayke and Yuri Alberto scored the goals in the black-and-white side’s win at Estadio Ciudad de Vicente López.
