Corinthians back in training, prepare for Copa do Brasil final return | OneFootball

The Corinthians squad returned to training on Thursday afternoon at the Dr. Joaquim Grava Training Center, beginning preparations for the second leg of the Copa do Brasil final against Vasco. The decisive match is scheduled for this Sunday at 6 PM (Brasília time) at the Maracanã.

The players who played more than 45 minutes in the first leg on Wednesday stayed indoors for a recovery session. The others went to the field and participated in a four-on-four confrontation exercise.

Coach Dorival Júnior also conducted a small-sided activity.

Full strength!

Corinthians will have full strength for the second leg of the Copa do Brasil final. The eight players who were at risk of suspension came through unscathed and can defend the team at Maracanã. Additionally, there have been no new injury cases so far.

With this, Dorival Júnior can field the same team as in the first leg. However, the coach is considering strategic changes, as Timão faced serious difficulties against Vasco at the Neo Química Arena.
