After having a day off last Sunday (19), right after the victory over Atlético-MG, in Itaquera, for the Brazilian Championship, Corinthians began on Monday, October 20, preparations to face Vitória in a match valid for the 30th round of the national tournament. The match will be next Saturday (25), at 4 pm (Brasília time), at Barradão.

In an official statement, the Alvinegro announced that defender André Ramalho and midfielder André Carrillo have completed their physical transition period and are available again for the coaching staff. The defender has not played since September 28, when the Corinthians team lost 2-1 to Flamengo at home. On that day, he suffered a strain in the posterior muscle of his right thigh.

Meanwhile, the Peruvian from Corinthians had not played since August 6, when the Parque São Jorge club defeated Palmeiras 2-0 at Allianz Parque, in the return match of the Copa do Brasil round of 16. On that occasion, the number 19 had a challenge on the sideline and ended up suffering a ligament injury in his left ankle.

On the other hand, midfielder André suffered a ligament injury in his right ankle and is already undergoing treatment with the Alvinegro's physiotherapy department. The athlete felt the area during training last Tuesday, October 14, and was a last-minute absence in the match against the Minas Gerais team over the weekend.

Now, the Corinthians medical department includes number 49 and midfielder Vitinho, who is recovering from knee surgery after an injury suffered on October 4 against Mirassol, in the Brasileirão, in Itaquera.

"Defender André Ramalho and midfielder André Carrillo have completed the physical transition phase and trained normally with the squad. Midfielder André suffered a ligament injury in his right ankle and began treatment with the club's physiotherapy," said the club in a statement.

On the afternoon of this Monday, October 20, the Corinthians squad started the day with strength training in the gym. Subsequently, after warming up on the field with coordinated movements, the players who played more than 45 minutes over the weekend performed a regenerative activity inside the Dr. Joaquim Grava Training Center.

Finally, the rest of the athletes stayed on one of the fields at the training center for a ten-on-ten collective game. The Corinthians squad will hold the second training session aiming at the match against Vitória on the morning of this Tuesday (21), in the Brazilian northeast.

Currently, the Alvinegro occupies only the 11th position in the Brasileirão with 36 points (nine wins, nine draws, and 11 losses – 31 goals scored and 35 conceded).
