Vasco return to training, begin preparations to face Corinthians | OneFootball

Vasco has begun preparations for the clash with Corinthians, valid for the 21st round of the Brazilian Championship. On Monday morning, the squad returned to training at CT Moacyr Barbosa and practiced with a focus on the upcoming match.

The Rio de Janeiro team was coming off a big win in the Brasileirão, having thrashed Santos 6-0 at Morumbis. However, the Cruzmaltino couldn't keep up the momentum and ended up losing 2-0 to Juventude in a postponed match from the 14th round, last Wednesday.

In the last five rounds of the competition, Vasco has managed only one win, along with two draws and two losses. This performance keeps the Cruzmaltino fighting against relegation: the team sits in 16th place, with 19 points, the same as Vitória, who currently occupies the first spot in the relegation zone (Z-4).

For the match against Corinthians, coach Fernando Diniz is not expected to have the injured Matheus Carvalho and Adson available. On the other hand, he should be able to count on Alex Teixeira, who has recovered from a virus, as well as Jair, who served a suspension in the match against Juventude.

Vasco and Corinthians face each other this Sunday, starting at 4 p.m. (Brasília time), at São Januário.
