Corinthians prepares for Chapecoense match amid injury concerns

Corinthians is preparing for its upcoming Campeonato Brasileiro Série A match against Chapecoense at the Neo Química Arena. The team is currently under pressure following three consecutive league defeats and is looking to improve its standing in the table.

Attacker Memphis Depay has been a focal point of recent training sessions. After missing ball drills due to swelling and pain in his left ankle—an injury sustained during a match against Santos—Depay has recently returned to training with the squad after performing internal activities. Other players, including Vitinho, have begun physical transition phases following injuries.

Head coach Fernando Diniz faces several roster challenges. While Gabriel Paulista and André Carrillo have returned to full training, they face suspensions. Other key players, including Yuri Alberto and André, are still in the final stages of physical recovery from muscle injuries, and goalkeeper Hugo Souza is also serving a suspension.
