Corinthians may welcome back Hugo Souza for Grêmio clash in Brasileirão

By Henrique Pereira / Central do Timão Editorial Team

Corinthians should once again have goalkeeper Hugo Souza available for the match against Grêmio this Sunday, the 2nd, at Neo Química Arena, in a game valid for the Brazilian Championship. The player is recovering from an acromioclavicular dislocation in his left shoulder, an injury that sidelined him in the previous round.

Hugo missed the match against Vitória last Saturday, but has been showing good progress in his treatment. Even so, the goalkeeper’s shoulder remains slightly inflamed and, as a precaution, he is not participating in training sessions with the ball at this time.

To avoid any aggravation, the keeper has been doing physical and technical activities without the ball, focused on maintaining his fitness and preparing for his return to the pitch. According to information from ESPN, the work is being carried out in coordination with the coaching staff, who are closely monitoring his recovery.

With dedication and commitment, Hugo Souza has been making a great effort to be fit for the weekend, showing his desire to return to defend the black-and-white goal as soon as possible. In addition to his commitment to Corinthians, the goalkeeper also nurtures the dream of being called up by Carlo Ancelotti, coach of the Brazilian national team, who will announce the squad for the friendlies against Senegal and Tunisia next Monday, the 3rd.

In Hugo’s absence, young Felipe Longo, a product of the club’s youth academy, took over as starter and performed well in the victory over Vitória at Barradão. The substitute’s solid performance pleased both the fans and the coaching staff, ensuring peace of mind while the starter finishes his recovery.
