Duo back in training, set to boost Corinthians against Vitória | OneFootball

The Corinthians squad returned to training at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava on Monday afternoon and began preparations for the match against Vitória, valid for the 30th round of the Brazilian Championship. Coach Dorival Júnior is expected to have some new options for the match, scheduled for this Saturday.

Midfielder André Carrillo and defender André Ramalho have completed the physical transition phase and trained normally with the rest of the group. Therefore, the tendency is for the duo to reinforce Timão against Leão da Barra.

On the other hand, young midfielder André, who missed the 1-0 win over Atlético-MG last Saturday at Neo Química Arena, was diagnosed with a ligament injury in his right ankle. He has already started treatment with the club’s physiotherapy team.

How was the training?

The players started the day with a strength session in the gym. After warming up on the pitch, the athletes who played more than 45 minutes against Galo returned to the indoor facilities for recovery work.

The others remained on the field and took part in a collective ten-on-ten exercise.

Double setback

Dorival will have two important absences for the match against Vitória. Right-back Matheuzinho and midfielder Maycon received their third yellow card and are suspended. On the other hand, defender Gustavo Henrique, who served a suspension, is available again to the coaching staff.

The coach will have a free week to run tests. There will be four more training sessions before the clash in Salvador. The squad returns to work on Tuesday morning, continuing their preparations.
