Corinthians host Cruzeiro with six ruled out and 10 one booking from a ban | OneFootball

Corinthians host Cruzeiro at Neo Química Arena at 19:30 on Sunday in the 23rd round of the Campeonato Brasileiro, with six players sidelined and 10 one booking from suspension.

According to Meu Timao, there could be up to seven out. Yuri Alberto has a right hamstring injury, Pedro Raul is recovering from trauma to the rib area and André Luiz has a grade 2 injury in the right hamstring. Vitinho continues his recovery after left knee meniscus surgery, Kayke is working back from a left anterior cruciate ligament procedure and Zakaria Labyad is treating a meniscus problem and a left anterior cruciate ligament rupture.

Ten are one booking from a ban and would miss the match against Coritiba if cautioned: Hugo Souza, Kauê, Matheus Bidu, Gabriel Paulista, Raniele, Rodrigo Garro, Breno Bidon, Jesse Lingard and Kaio César, along with coach Fernando Diniz. Yuri Alberto is also on that list, but as he will not play he is not at risk.

The sides are separated by one point in the table. Corinthians sit seventh on 32 points, Cruzeiro are fifth with 33.

A home win could lift Corinthians into the G4, which brings direct entry to the 2027 Libertadores group stage, although they also need other results in the round to fall their way.
