Lelê back in training as Corinthians gear up for Santos derby | OneFootball

On the morning of this Friday (7), Corinthians held another preparation session ahead of facing Santos in the 15th round of the Brazilian Women’s Championship. The training session led by head coach Emily Lima included tactical and attacking drills and featured an important update: goalkeeper Lelê returned to activities with the rest of the squad.

The keeper had been recovering from tendinopathy in the back of her right thigh and rejoined group training during preparations for the derby. Her presence is an important boost for the coaching staff in this final stretch before the Brabas’ next match.

Friday’s schedule began in the gym. Afterwards, the players went out onto the pitch, where they completed their warm-up before the start of the activities led by Emily Lima.

During the tactical part of training, the coach worked on attacking situations with the squad. The Brabas carried out drills involving ball possession, as well as specific crossing and finishing exercises, aimed at the clash against the Santos side.

This weekend’s match will be the second meeting between Corinthians and Santos this season. The first came in the third round of the Paulista Women’s Championship and ended in a 2-2 draw. On that occasion, Erika and Gabi Zanotti scored Corinthians’ two goals. Now, the teams meet again in the Brazilian Women’s Championship. Corinthians face Santos this Sunday (9) in the 15th round of the national competition.
