Corinthians complete preparations to visit Red Bull Bragantino, probable line-up listed | OneFootball

Corinthians completed their final session on Saturday before visiting Red Bull Bragantino in the 22nd round of the Brasileiro. The match is on Sunday 9 at 18:30 at Cícero de Souza Marques in Bragança Paulista.

According to Meu Timao, the day began with a tactical video in the Flexform briefing room at CT Joaquim Grava, followed by gym work and a warm-up on the pitch. Fernando Diniz then led a 10 v 10 tactical drill, and the squad finished with set-piece routines.

After Thursday’s Copa do Brasil exit to Internacional, Diniz may rotate with the Libertadores last 16 against Rosario Central on 13 in mind. André Luiz has discomfort in his right thigh and is likely to be rested.

The probable Corinthians side features Hugo Souza in goal. The defence could be Matheuzinho (Pedro Milans), Gabriel Paulista, André Ramalho (Gustavo Henrique) and Matheus Bidu (Angileri).

Midfield options are Raniele, Allan, Breno Bidon, Rodrigo Garro and Kaio César (Dieguinho). Pedro Raul (Lingard) leads the attack.

Six players remain in the medical department. They are Yuri Alberto with a muscle injury to the back of his right thigh, Vitinho recovering from surgery on the meniscus in his left knee, Alex Santana in transition after trauma to his right knee, Hugo Farias transitioning after a lateral meniscus injury in his right knee, Kayke recovering from anterior cruciate ligament surgery in his left knee, and Zakaria Labyad with a meniscus injury and an anterior cruciate ligament rupture in his left knee.

Memphis Depay has not yet returned to training and is in the final phase of talks to renew his contract. Corinthians are ninth on 29 points, while Red Bull Bragantino are sixth with 31 and have a game in hand.
