Corinthians have 10 out and seven at risk for Coritiba trip | OneFootball

Corinthians visit Coritiba on Sunday night in the 24th round of the Brasileiro, shorn of 10 players.

According to Meu Timao, Rodrigo Garro is suspended after three yellows, while goalkeeper Hugo Souza and full-backs Matheuzinho and Matheus Bidu are also absent, having not travelled, for undisclosed reasons.

André Ramalho remains out with labyrinthitis. Midfielder André Luiz has a grade 2 strain in his right thigh, and Zakaria Labyad will not play again this year after an ACL rupture and meniscus damage in his left knee.

Up front, Yuri Alberto is sidelined with a grade 2 right thigh injury. Vitinho is rehabbing following left knee meniscus surgery, and youngster Kayke has had his season ended by an ACL tear.

Kauê, Gabriel Paulista, Raniele, Breno Bidon, Jesse Lingard and Kaio César, as well as coach Fernando Diniz, are one booking from suspension in the following round. Yuri Alberto, Matheus Bidu and Hugo Souza also have two yellows but face no immediate risk since they miss the trip to Paraná.

Corinthians have won four of their past five matches, losing only once in that span. On Thursday they beat Rosario Central 1-0 at Neo Química Arena to seal a Libertadores quarter-final place. The sole defeat came in the league on 16 August, a 2-1 home loss to Cruzeiro.

They sit ninth on 32 points, with Coritiba 10th on 31. Victory could lift Timão as high as sixth depending on other results, trimming the gap to fifth-placed Cruzeiro, on 39, to four points.
