Corinthians has no information about José Martínez's situation since last Wednesday (7). With the start of the FIFA Date, the squad received three days off and returned to training in the middle of last week. The Venezuelan midfielder, however, did not return to activities with the group. The information was released by the portal Meu Timão and confirmed by the Central do Timão, which found that the player also did not participate in activities this Monday (13) at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava.
On Wednesday, the day the squad returned, Martínez informed the management that there was a personal problem involving his son. However, after this initial justification, the midfielder did not make further contact with the club and remained absent for the next three days of training. He missed activities on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday. Saturday was a day off for the squad.

Given the situation, which caused discomfort for coach Dorival Júnior, Martínez is expected to be cut by the Corinthians technical staff for the classic against Santos, scheduled for next Wednesday (15) at Vila Belmiro. Besides the Venezuelan midfielder, the team will also be without Matheus Bidu and Hugo Souza, both suspended.
The Venezuelan midfielder had been a starter since the last FIFA Date, during which he recovered from a hand fracture suffered while serving the Venezuelan national team. Despite frequent call-ups, he was not selected for the current national team commitments, even after playing for Corinthians in matches against Sport, Flamengo, Internacional, and Mirassol.
