The Corinthians has a setback for the last round of the Campeonato Paulista. Midfielder Matheus Pereira received his third yellow card in the classic match against Palmeiras this Sunday at the Neo Química Arena and will not play against São Bernardo.
As a result, Matheus Pereira joins three other players who are not available to coach Dorival Júnior: Martínez (physical reconditioning), Hugo (right knee injury), Kaio César (right thigh injury).
Meanwhile, Peruvian André Carrillo, who missed the Derby due to discomfort in the left adductor, is still doubtful. Corinthians will face São Bernardo next Sunday at 8:30 PM (Brasília time) at Primeiro de Maio.
