André Ramalho picks up thigh injury, ruled out for Corinthians v Flamengo | OneFootball

The Corinthians suffered a last-minute setback for the match against Flamengo. Defender André Ramalho has been diagnosed with a strain in the right hamstring muscle and will be out for the upcoming match, valid for the Brazilian Championship.

André Ramalho is usually a starter for Corinthians alongside Gustavo Henrique. With the player's absence, coach Dorival Júnior has chosen to start defender João Pedro Tchoca in the initial 11 to face Flamengo. He will pair with the number 13.

On the substitutes' bench, the coach has defenders Cacá and Félix Torres as options. The fullbacks Angileri and Hugo, in an improvised manner, can also perform the function.

Without André Ramalho, therefore, Corinthians will host Flamengo later today, starting at 8:30 pm (Brasília time) this Sunday. The match is valid for the 25th round of the Brazilian Championship and takes place at the Neo Química Arena.

For the match, Timão will also miss striker Memphis Depay (edema in the right thigh), midfielders Rodrigo Garro (right calf injury) and Carrillo (left ankle surgery), and defensive midfielder Charles (right knee pain).

In the current season, André Ramalho has played 37 matches, 34 of them as a starter. The defender has not scored any goals or provided assists.
