Corinthians could miss six, bookings worry for Remo clash | OneFootball

Corinthians face Remo on Thursday night (23) at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Neo Química Arena, in the 19th round of the Brazilian Championship. For the match, head coach Fernando Diniz could be without as many as six players, including confirmed absences and others still awaiting medical evaluation.

The main absence for the match is midfielder Rodrigo Garro, who is serving an automatic suspension after receiving his third yellow card in the previous round of the competition. Another name off the list is Memphis Depay. The forward is still on vacation after playing in the World Cup for the Netherlands national team and remains in talks to renew his contract with Corinthians.

In the medical department, Kayke is still recovering from surgery to reconstruct the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his knee and is only expected to return in 2027. Full-back Hugo Farias is also still in physical transition after knee surgery and is not yet fit to play.

Another player who is unlikely to be available is forward Vitinho, who remains in physical transition after recovering from a hip injury.

Defensive midfielder Raniele, meanwhile, is considered doubtful for the match. The player missed training on Tuesday and Wednesday after suffering a knee injury during a session held at Neo Química Arena. According to information from ge.globo, the No. 14 is expected to undergo an evaluation in the locker room before the match to determine whether he will be fit to take the field.

As a result, Corinthians have the following absences and doubts for the match against Remo:

In addition to the possible absences, Corinthians also need to manage the disciplinary situation of part of the squad. Six players will take the field carrying two yellow cards and could miss the team’s next Brazilian Championship match against Bahia if they are booked.

The players at risk of suspension are goalkeeper Hugo Souza, full-backs Fabrizio Angileri and Matheus Bidu, midfielder Jesse Lingard, and forwards Kaio César and Yuri Alberto.

Corinthians begin the round in 13th place in the Brazilian Championship. With a win over Remo, the team could finish the first half of the season in the top half of the table, depending on the results of the other matches.
