The players who featured for most of the match against Atlético Mineiro underwent recovery work indoors, with bike exercises and upper- and lower-body strength work, in addition to hydrotherapy and cryotherapy.
The remaining players started the day in the gym with a fitness session and then went out onto the pitch with head coach Dorival Júnior and his staff for drills involving possession, reaction after losing the ball, quick circulation and pressing, as well as an 11-v-11 small-sided game. These activities included players from the youth academy.
Forward Victor Sá has recovered from a traumatic sprain to his right ankle and trained normally with the squad this morning. He had been following a physical conditioning program and taking part in some activities with the group.
Forward Lucca, meanwhile, completed his first full training session with his teammates without restrictions. Having recovered from a fractured jaw, he remains in the process of regaining full fitness.
Tricolor will train again on Monday morning (07) and in the afternoon will travel to Buenos Aires on a charter flight operated by Sideral.
