O Corinthians trained on the morning of Friday, at CT Joaquim Grava, intensifying the preparation for the match against the Athletico-PR, which will take place on Sunday, at 16h, at Ligga Arena, for the 11th round of the Brazilian Championship. Coach António Oliveira announced at least two important changes in the team.
Carlos Miguel returns to the goal after complying with suspension, bringing security to the alvinegra defense. On the other hand, the team will have the absence of Yuri Alberto, who is suspended. The attacker Pedro Raul is the main candidate to occupy the position left by Alberto.
The club's medical department also has the side Fagner and Diego Palacios, in addition to the attacker Pedro Henrique, all recovering from muscle injuries. Félix Torres and Romero, who serve their selections in Copa América, will only be available from July.
This week's workouts highlighted the participation of Fagner and Pedro Henrique in activities on the lawn, although both are not yet able to play. The team began the work with an activation at the academy, followed by regenerative exercises for players who played more than 45 minutes in the last match against the International. The other athletes participated in technical training focused on speed, transition and completions.
With only seven points won in ten rounds, the Corinthians occupies the 17th position in Brasileirão, within the relegation zone. The team is six games away without winning, increasing pressure on António Oliveira and the players.
The likely team to face Athletico- PR should be: Carlos Miguel; Matheuzinho, Cacá, Gustavo Henrique and Hugo; Raniele, Breno Bidon, Rodrigo Garro and Igor Coronado; Wesley and Pedro Raul.
