Corinthians Women step up attacking and set-piece work at training base | OneFootball

Corinthians’ women’s squad continued, on Tuesday morning, its preparation for the challenges of the second half of the season. At the Training Center, head coach Emily Lima led another session focused on the team’s return to official competitions.

The day’s schedule began in the gym, where the players carried out strength-training exercises. Later, on the field, the group took part in a warm-up before starting specific drills aimed at improving the attacking unit. The activities included passing sequences, movement between the lines, build-up play, crosses, finishing, and set-piece training.

While most of the squad trained normally, two players remain under the care of the medical department. Goalkeeper Lelê is still recovering from tendinopathy in the back of her right thigh. She has already started treatment, but there is still no timetable for her return to ball work.

The other absentee is center-back Agustina Barroso. The Argentine defender has been sidelined since the start of the season, when a recurring muscle tightness linked to scar tissue in the soleus muscle of her left calf was diagnosed. Because of this, she is still undergoing treatment and has not yet returned to training with the rest of the squad.

In addition to the absences due to physical issues, Emily Lima has also lost one player permanently. Attacking midfielder Manu Olivan agreed to terminate her contract with Corinthians and, last Saturday, was officially announced as a new player for Miami Dade College in the United States.

Off the pitch, the day brought good news for the club and the players. Corinthians settled the payments related to the players’ image rights, amounts that had been overdue for 22 days.

With the situation now resolved, the Brabas are fully focused on the final stretch of their preparation. The team’s next match is scheduled for July 17 at 7 p.m. against Ferroviária at Parque São Jorge, in a clash valid for the fourth round of the Campeonato Paulista.
