Corinthians count seven absences for Rosario Central tie, Memphis Depay in squad after renewal | OneFootball

Corinthians host Rosario Central at 21:30 on Thursday in the Copa Libertadores last-16 second leg at Neo Química Arena, with Fernando Diniz missing seven players and one at risk of suspension.

Gabriel Paulista is available after no injury was found on his right thigh. Memphis Depay has extended his deal until 31 July 2028 and is in the squad, and ge.globo reports he could play for about 30 to 40 minutes.

Allan is suspended after his red card in the first leg at the Gigante de Arroyito. Breno Bidon is a doubt with right thigh pain, he trained this week and will be assessed before kick-off.

André Ramalho suffered a bout of vertigo after the game in Argentina, was hospitalised until Wednesday, and will be re-evaluated in the coming days. Zakaria Labyad tore his ACL and damaged the meniscus in his left knee, ending his season. André Luiz is out with a grade 2 hamstring injury.

Up front, Yuri Alberto has a grade 2 hamstring injury. Kayke continues his recovery from an ACL rupture in his left knee and is expected back in 2027. Vitinho is sidelined after meniscus surgery on his left knee.

The first leg finished 0-0, so the tie is open, the winners go through and another draw means penalties. Matheuzinho is one booking from a ban and, if cautioned and Corinthians advance, he will miss the quarter-final first leg. The winners face Estudiantes, with games scheduled between 8-10 and 15-17 September.
