Félix Torres named in Internacional squad for decisive Corinthians cup tie | OneFootball

Félix Torres has been included in Internacional’s squad for Thursday’s Copa do Brasil last-16 second leg against Corinthians at Neo Química Arena.

According to Meu Timao, the Ecuadorian centre-back is on loan to Internacional until the end of the year and remains contracted to Corinthians until December 2027, and a clause would require a high fee for him to face his parent club. He was not named for the first leg at Beira-Rio. Corinthians lost that match 2-0 on Sunday.

The list is expected to include the full travelling party for two fixtures in São Paulo, with Palmeiras to follow on Sunday in the league. As a result, Félix Torres is not expected to feature against Corinthians.

Argentine midfielder Rodrigo Villagra, an undisputed starter, is out after feeling pain in his left thigh.

Corinthians have five confirmed absentees: Yuri Alberto with a right thigh muscle injury, Memphis Depay in physical reconditioning, Zakaria Labyad with a left knee meniscus injury and anterior cruciate ligament rupture, Vitinho after left knee meniscus surgery, and Kayke recovering from anterior cruciate ligament surgery.

Corinthians must win by three or more goals to advance outright. A two-goal victory would take the tie to penalties.
