Corinthians without five, eight at risk for Flamengo clash | OneFootball

On the evening of this Sunday (22), Corinthians will take the field at Neo Química Arena at 8:30 PM (Brasília time) to face Flamengo in a match valid for the eighth round of the 2026 Brazilian Championship. At this moment, Alvinegro occupies ninth place in the national tournament with nine points – two wins, three draws, and two losses – six goals scored and six conceded.

With no players suspended for the match, the Corinthians coaching staff will not be able to count on: goalkeeper Felipe Longo (sprained ligament in his right elbow), left-back Hugo Farias (recovering from surgery to repair a lateral meniscus injury in his right knee), midfielder Allan (on loan from Flamengo; Alvinegro is not expected to pay the fee for the midfielder to play), attacking midfielder Jesse Lingard (awaiting registration with the BID), and forward Kaio César (fitness issue).

On the other hand, defender Gabriel Paulista and forward Memphis Depay, who were rested for the match against Chapecoense last Thursday (19) at Arena Condá for the seventh round of the Brazilian Championship, should be available for coach Dorival Júnior. Midfielder André Carrillo is doubtful, as he missed the match against the team from Santa Catarina due to muscle discomfort.

Corinthians will also have to keep an eye on the players who are one yellow card away from suspension. If they are booked this Thursday, they will not face Fluminense on April 1st, a Wednesday, at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the ninth round of the national competition. They are: goalkeeper Hugo Souza, defenders Gustavo Henrique and André Ramalho, right-back Matheuzinho, left-backs Matheus Bidu and Fabrizio Angileri, midfielder Raniele, and also midfielder André Carrillo.
