Corinthians back in training, gear up for Copa do Brasil final | OneFootball

There is no rest for Corinthians, who have a decisive match ahead in this final stretch of the season. This Monday, after qualifying on penalties against Cruzeiro, the Alvinegro squad regrouped and began preparations for the first leg of the Copa do Brasil final against Vasco.

Corinthians will host Vasco this Wednesday at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Neo Química Arena, in São Paulo (SP).

How was the training?

As usual, the players who played more than 45 minutes in the match against Cruzeiro last Sunday performed a recovery activity at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava.

The other players, meanwhile, went to the field after a strength training session in the gym. After warming up with a ball possession drill, the squad carried out a small-sided game exercise on a reduced field.

The Alvinegro squad will wrap up preparations for the first leg of the final on Tuesday morning, again at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava.

Clean bill of health

Corinthians reach the Copa do Brasil final with a clean medical department. Yuri Alberto and Raniele, who were doubts for the second leg of the semifinal, ended up playing. The striker played the full 90 minutes, while the midfielder was brought on at halftime.

Timão will also have no suspended players for the first leg of the final, despite having a long list of players one yellow card away from suspension. Hugo Souza, Gustavo Henrique, André Ramalho, Matheuzinho, Angileri, Breno Bidon, Maycon, and Rodrigo Garro all have two yellow cards.

Corinthians are seeking their fourth Copa do Brasil title, while Vasco are aiming for the second title in the club’s history.
