Corinthians intensify attacking work in third session of international window | OneFootball

Corinthians held their third session of the international window on Friday morning at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava, sharpening attacking play and chance creation.

According to Meu Timao, players watched a tactical video in the Sala de Preleção Flexform, then completed gym activation work. On the pitch, they warmed up with rondos before a strategic drill on attacking patterns.

The group then split for a two-block exercise with alternating possession. One side dictated the tempo in attack, the other reacted in offensive transition.

Dorival Júnior involved academy prospects, among them centre-back Iago Machado, midfielder Luiz Gustavo Bahia, left winger Nícollas and midfielder Dieguinho, who rejoined the seniors after a stint with the Under-20s this week.

A congested run awaits, eight matches in 30 days across the Brasileirão, the opening Libertadores group games and Copa do Brasil fifth-phase ties against Barra-SC.

Numbers are thinned by call-ups, with goalkeeper Hugo Souza away with Brazil and midfielder André Carrillo with Peru. The medical list grew as striker Gui Negão sustained a right posterior thigh strain and left Brazil Under-20 duty.

Left-back Hugo Farias continues rehab after meniscus surgery, and forward Kaio César is recovering from peripheral fibrotic inflammation in his right hamstring. Memphis Depay is in the Netherlands treating an injury to the front of his right thigh.

The squad rest on Saturday, then return Sunday to start specific preparation for Fluminense. Kick-off is Wednesday at 21:30 at the Maracanã in round nine of the Brasileirão.
