Corinthians training: Hugo wears shoulder support, still a doubt | OneFootball

The goalkeeper, who is recovering from an acromioclavicular dislocation in his left shoulder, took to the field and worked with his teammates using protection on the area. Therefore, he is still doubtful for Sunday's game.

Dorival Júnior had almost the entire squad available. The only absences were Vitinho and André Luiz, who are injured. Journalists followed the warm-up and the initial ball work. At the start of the tactical part, the activity was closed.
