Corinthians duo discuss their injury recovery journey

By Fabio Luigi / Central do Timão Editorial Team

On Sunday afternoon (9), Corinthians is facing Ceará at the Neo Química Arena, in a match valid for the 33rd round of the Brazilian Championship. Currently, the Alvinegro occupies only the 12th position with 42 points. Before the match, goalkeeper Hugo Souza gave an interview to Corinthians TV and detailed his recovery process from a muscle injury in his left thigh.

It’s worth noting that the number 1 was also cut from the list of players called up to the Brazilian National Team for the friendlies against Senegal and Tunisia, on November 15 and 18. In late October, the goalkeeper also suffered a left shoulder injury and missed the match against Vitória at Barradão, for the 30th round of the national tournament.

“It’s going well (the recovery from the injury), it has progressed well, thank God. I worked hard, I tried hard to be here playing, to be well, but it wasn’t possible. But for sure, God willing, for the next game we are working hard to recover as quickly as possible. We’ll use this FIFA break to recover well, so we’ll have time to be 100% for the next game (against São Paulo, on November 20)”, he began.

Next, Hugo Souza also took the opportunity to praise goalkeeper Felipe Longo, 20 years old, who has been his replacement in the Corinthians goal: “Felipe has been doing very well. I’ve always spoken highly of him in every interview, not just about him, but about all the others. And he’s had the opportunity to play, he’s delivered, and today will be no different. So, God willing, another victory for us”, he said.

Midfielder André, 19 years old, a product of the Corinthians youth academy, also spoke with the club’s official YouTube channel and commented on his recovery process from a ligament injury in his right ankle. Currently, like midfielder Vitinho, he is in the process of physical transition.

The number 49, who has four appearances for the first team and was promoted in the second half of the year, hasn’t played since October 15, when the Alvinegro lost 3-1 to Santos at Vila Belmiro, in the 28th round of the national competition.

“Thank God I’m recovering well. I’m starting to train with the ball again and I hope that now, with this FIFA break, I can recover, strengthen everything properly to come back strong and start playing here again, because it’s great to be on the pitch. The body helps (to recover faster) because I’m young, and also with everything we have at the club, the support, the professionals we have there. I have no words, thanks to them, and thank God too, everything went well and I’ll be back soon,” he said.
