On Friday afternoon (12/05), Corinthians began preparing for the final round of the Brazilian Championship. The team was led again in CT by Dr. Joachim Grava after the defeat to Fortaleza. However, coach Dorival Junior’s focus is already on the Copa do Brasil semi-final against Cruzeiro. For this reason, the coach is inclined to keep his key players for the confrontation against Juventude, scheduled for Sunday (07/12), at 4 pm, at the New Quimica Arena.
The activity started in the gym and continued with warm-ups on the grass. In fact, the athletes who played more than 45 minutes in Castelao did nothing but regenerative work. Meanwhile, the rest of the group members participated in technical training in a limited space. But the medical department continues with important names. Midfielder Rodrigo Garro is nursing a strain in his right calf, and striker Yuri Alberto is recovering from edema in his symphysis pubis.

In addition to them, Memphis Depay continues his physical transformation. Therefore, the trio will not be included in Sunday’s match. The technical committee’s strategy aims to put the team in the best possible conditions to make the decision on Wednesday (10/12) in Mineirão. Corinthians will face Cruzeiro in the first match of the semi-final, and the return match will be held the following Sunday (14/12), in Itaquera.
If he qualifies for the final, Timao will compete for the title against Vasco or Fluminense on December 17 and 21. The black and white team, which no longer has any great ambitions in the Brazilian league table, will hold its final training session on Saturday (12/06) to determine the alternative lineup that will leave the field competing for straight points.
