The right-back Matheuzinho underwent image exam, which showed overload of the posterior muscle of the right thigh without detected injury. The midfielder José Martínez and striker Yuri Alberto are in the phase of physical transition with partial work with the cast. Left-back Hugo has ended the physical transition and is working normally with the other players-said Corinthians.
