Corinthians Women’s midfielder limps off with ankle pain after training

Corinthians attacking midfielder Vic Albuquerque caused concern for the Brabas’ medical department after leaving Friday’s training session in tears, having felt pain in her right ankle. The session was the last before the derby against São Paulo, valid for the Women’s Paulista Championship.

The incident occurred in the final minutes of training, when defender Thaís Regina slid in on Vic. The player immediately fell to the ground and cried a lot, needing to be taken off the field for treatment. The club’s doctors began care right there, focusing on the injured ankle.

“It was a hard stomp, Thaís’s foot scraped her. Obviously, since it was a stomp, it’s better than a ligament injury, but we still don’t know how serious the situation is,” responded Lucas Piccinato, the team’s coach, in a press conference after training.

As a result, Vic is now doubtful for this Saturday’s Majestoso. Corinthians are also unlikely to have Duda Sampaio, who recently returned from the Brazilian National Team and did not participate in the session. If Vic is unable to play, Piccinato may field Andressa Alves, Gabi Zanotti, Ivana Fuso, Manu Olivan, or Letícia Monteiro as alternatives for the midfield.

The match between Corinthians and São Paulo takes place at 11 a.m. this Saturday, at Fazendinha, for the 11th round of the first phase of the Women’s Paulista. Already qualified for the knockout stage, the Brabas are looking to consolidate their lead in the competition to secure home advantage in the semifinals and possibly the final. São Paulo, currently in fifth place, is trying to break into the top four and continue fighting for a spot in the next phase.
