Corinthians travel to Bogotá with seven out for Libertadores at Independiente Santa Fe | OneFootball

Corinthians visit Independiente Santa Fe in the Copa Libertadores group stage on Wednesday with seven absentees. According to Meu Timao, kick-off is 21:30 Brasília time at El Campín in Bogotá.

Midfielder Allan did not travel due to sickle cell trait, a usually asymptomatic genetic condition that can cause adverse effects for athletes at altitude.

In midfield, Charles remains out as he recovers from a right heel issue sustained in early April, while Alex Santana was not registered for the group stage.

Up front, coach Fernando Diniz will be without Kayke, who has undergone reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, and Memphis Depay, who remains in physical reconditioning.

At the back, João Pedro Tchoca continues treatment for pubic pain, and left-back Hugo Farias is still recovering after arthroscopy on the meniscus of his right knee.

There is relief, as Matheuzinho, Gustavo Henrique, André Luiz and André Carrillo return from suspension after missing the Brasileirão defeat to Mirassol, and Vitinho is back from right hip pain. Corinthians have no players at risk of suspension for this match.

Despite the absences, they lead Group E with 9 points and a 100 per cent record, and an away win could confirm early qualification for the last 16.
