Corinthians boosted by reinforcements for Bragantino clash | OneFootball

With reinforcements, Corinthians held their last training session on Wednesday morning before the match against Red Bull Bragantino, for the third round of the Brazilian Championship. The game is scheduled for this Thursday at 8 PM (Brasília time), at the Neo Química Arena.

Coach Dorival Júnior had two new additions on the field at the Dr. Joaquim Grava Training Center: Allan and Angileri. The duo participated in their first activity with the rest of the squad.

The Argentine left-back, who renewed his contract after a long saga, is not expected to be listed by Dorival yet. He needs to regain match fitness. Meanwhile, the midfielder, who had been playing for Flamengo, has been registered in the BID and may debut for the black-and-white team.

On the other hand, midfielder José Martínez (left knee injury), left-back Hugo (right knee surgery), and forward Kaio César (right thigh injury) are sidelined. Midfielder Carrillo, with discomfort in the left adductor, is doubtful.

Probable Corinthians lineup

The probable lineup for Corinthians to face Bragantino includes: Hugo Souza; Matheuzinho, André Ramalho, Gustavo Henrique, and Matheus Bidu; Raniele, André, Breno Bidon, and Rodrigo Garro; Memphis Depay and Yuri Alberto.

The players started the day with a tactical instruction video. Then, the group did strength training in the gym and moved to the field, where Dorival Júnior led two tactical exercises. The squad also practiced set-piece plays.

Corinthians had their good run halted with a defeat in the derby against Palmeiras last Sunday and is seeking their first victory in the Brasileirão. Timão debuted with a loss to Bahia. Dorival Júnior's team, which has one game less, is currently second to last in the Serie A standings.

“We have to maintain what we've been doing. We've been improving over the past few matches. Our team is finding a good game format. I believe that regardless of the competition, we have to stick to our game plan. We are well and focused. I hope that against Red Bull Bragantino we can get our three points,” projected Matheuzinho.
