Corinthians returned to work on Friday morning, 29th, at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava, after returning from Curitiba, where they beat Athletico-PR 1-0 on Thursday, 28th. The focus is now entirely on the classic against Palmeiras, scheduled for Sunday, 31st, at 6:30 pm, at Neo Química Arena, for the continuation of the Brazilian Championship.

The activity started with a strength training in the gym, followed by a warm-up on the field. Then, the squad participated in a ball possession exercise with post-loss pressure. The players who played for more than 45 minutes in the match against Furacão were released for regenerative work inside the CT. The other athletes continued on the field, playing a game in a reduced space and a complement focused on finishes.
