Corinthians resume training for Santos derby after Coritiba setback | OneFootball

Corinthians resumed work on Thursday afternoon ahead of the Santos derby. Preparations for the sixth round of the Campeonato Brasileiro began at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava.

According to Meu Timao, the session opened with strength work in the gym. Players who logged more than 45 minutes against Coritiba did recovery indoors, while the rest went outside for unit drills, attack-versus-defence work and a 10 v 10 small-sided game.

For the derby at Vila Belmiro, Corinthians hope to have at least two forwards back, Kaio César and Yuri Alberto. Both missed the 2-0 defeat to Coritiba on Wednesday and may return from the medical department.

That reverse dropped the Parque São Jorge club five places in the table, and they could fall further depending on Thursday’s results.

Training resumes on Friday morning at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava. Kick-off against Santos is scheduled for 16:00 on Sunday at Vila Belmiro in the Baixada Santista. The squad will remain in the capital until Saturday afternoon.
