At players' request, Corinthians bring back staff member for medical team | OneFootball

The management of Corinthians has rehired physiotherapist Alex Cabrera. The professional had been dismissed in July and now returns to the club's medical department after about two months.

Alex's return was motivated by a request from the players of the alvinegro squad. He joined the club during Augusto Melo's administration but was dismissed during Osmar Stabile's interim mandate under the justification of “changes in the medical department's planning.” Around the same time, Dr. Ana Carolina Côrte, then head of the sector, also left her position.

Rehired, the professional will work alongside another five physiotherapists of Timão. They are: Amil Henrique, Bruno Gorgatte, Douglas Toffoli, Camila Morano, and Flavio Sakaguti.

The information was first reported by Record and confirmed by Gazeta Esportiva.

Crowded Medical Department

Alex Cabrera returns to Corinthians at a time when the club's medical department is crowded. Besides midfielder Rodrigo Garro, who suffered a grade 2 calf injury, five other players are unavailable to coach Dorival Júnior due to physical issues.

Currently, the medical department also includes Raniele, in physical transition, Memphis Depay, with a right thigh edema, Charles, with knee pain, José Martínez, who suffered a trauma to his left ankle, and André Carrillo, who underwent surgery on his left ankle.
