Corinthians training sees Memphis and Yuri Alberto absent, Tchoca returns | OneFootball

Champion of the Supercopa do Brasil, Corinthians resumed activities on Tuesday morning at the Dr. Joaquim Grava Training Center, beginning preparations for the match against Capivariano, for the sixth round of the Paulistão. The press had access to the start of the training session, which did not include the presence of forwards Memphis Depay and Yuri Alberto.

The duo worked indoors and did not participate in field activities. The Dutchman did a recovery session in the gym. Meanwhile, the number 9 is still recovering from the viral illness that affected the squad before the match against Flamengo.

The Return of Those Who Never Left

On the other hand, coach Dorival Júnior had a new face on the field: João Pedro Tchoca. The defender returned to Timão after the failed negotiation with Torino and took part in his first training session with the rest of the squad.

He is, in fact, available to the team and could reinforce Corinthians against Capivariano this Thursday.

Dorival has only one absence for the match: midfielder José Martínez, who remains in Venezuela to reissue his passport. The tendency is for Dorival to field an alternative lineup, also keeping in mind the derby against Palmeiras next Sunday.

The coach still has one more training session before facing Capivariano. The match is scheduled for this Thursday, at 8:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Neo Química Arena. Timão is currently in seventh place in the State Championship standings, with eight points.
