Corinthians Women get clean bill of health for decisive run-in | OneFootball

With midfielder Ana Vitória recovering from an abdominal injury and nearing the end of that process, Corinthians heads into the decisive stretch of the season close to emptying its medical department. In addition to the second leg of the Brasileirão Feminino final this Saturday (3), against São Paulo, at Morumbi Stadium, the Brabas will also compete in the Libertadores in October and the Paulistão play-in during the month of November.

The Brabas’ No. 88 began physical transition work under the supervision of the club’s staff last Tuesday (29) and is close to returning to the pitch. Center-back Erika, who had been complaining of knee pain, also went through the same process and was on one of the training center fields during Tuesday’s session.

Even so, the pair’s availability for the second leg of the Brasileirão Feminino final is still uncertain. Timão, it is worth noting, lost the first match 2-1 at Neo Química Arena and needs to win by at least one goal to take the contest to a penalty shootout. With a two-goal victory, the Brabas will claim the title.

In addition to the duo, center-back Agustina is another player who was recently cleared by the medical department and has been included in coach Emily Lima’s squad lists in the team’s latest matches. Even so, the defender, signed at the start of this season, has yet to make her 2026 debut due to a muscle injury in her left thigh. She had already had a brief spell with Timão in 2017 and returned this year after playing for Flamengo.

Physical condition of duo being monitored

Two players from Corinthians’ women’s squad have been having their medical condition monitored by the club’s staff. The first is midfielder Gabi Zanotti, who, according to coach Emily Lima in a press conference, was not at 100% over the past week. Because of that, she was substituted at halftime of the Majestoso against São Paulo, at Casa do Povo, in the first leg of the Brasileirão final.

Left-back Tamires is another player being closely monitored. The No. 37 suffered an ankle sprain during the first match of the final. In a press conference, however, she said she will take the field in the second match, scheduled for this weekend, regardless of whether she is in pain or not.

Both players appear in the video of Wednesday’s training session (30), at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava, released by Corinthians on its official YouTube channel, Corinthians TV.
