Corinthians lose three to suspension for Copa do Brasil clash with Ceará | OneFootball

Corinthians will have three definite absences for the match against Ceará next Sunday, in the 33rd round of the Brazilian Championship. Midfielder José Martínez and midfielders André Carrillo and Charles are out of the game due to suspension.

Martínez was sent off in the 14th minute of the second half of the match against Red Bull Bragantino, this Wednesday, at the Cícero de Souza Marques Stadium. He, who had already received a yellow card, got into an altercation with Gustavo Marques, received a second yellow, and left the team one man down.

Charles, who was involved in a scuffle with Vanderlan, received a red card in the final minutes, at the 53rd minute. André Carrillo, meanwhile, was already at risk of suspension and received his third yellow card.

Concern for Dorival

The absence of the trio is a concern for coach Dorival Júnior, who will face several problems setting up the midfield against Ceará. It’s worth noting that Raniele felt pain in his right thigh during the first half of the match in Bragança Paulista and will be evaluated by Corinthians.

On the other hand, the coach is expected to have Hugo Souza back. The goalkeeper was rested against Red Bull Bragantino due to trauma to his left thigh, but should be available again.

Standings Situation

With the defeat, Corinthians remains in tenth place in the standings, with 42 points. The gap to the G6, which was six points, has increased to nine.
