Hugo and Vitinho train on pitch and could strengthen Corinthians after mid-season camp | OneFootball

According to Globo.com, Corinthians completed the seventh day of their mid-season programme at CT Joaquim Grava on Wednesday, with Hugo and Vitinho stepping up to on-pitch work as they recover from injury.

Left-back Hugo Farias is rehabbing a lateral meniscus issue in his right knee sustained in early February, while forward Vitinho has been sidelined since early May with muscular problems.

The pair worked on the grass under the supervision of the club’s physiotherapy staff and could be available to head coach Fernando Diniz after the camp.

The session began with physical and technical drills across five stations, covering possession work, crossing and finishing, and high-speed running. Diniz then led an opposed tactical exercise focused on playing out against a high press.

Jesse Lingard and Memphis Depay did not take part. Lingard was granted leave to travel to England for his grandfather’s funeral and is due back on Saturday. Depay should receive 10 to 15 days of rest before reporting back following the Netherlands’ World Cup elimination.
