Corinthians missing three, with doubts and seven at risk for Fluminense | OneFootball

Corinthians host Fluminense at Neo Química Arena on Sunday at 16:00 in the 28th round of the Brasileirão, with a trimmed injury list but fresh selection doubts.

ge.globo reports that centre-back Gabriel Paulista has felt pubic pain and is not expected to be available, with youngster Iago Machado likely to step in. Midfielder André Carrillo has not trained in recent days and remains a doubt. Centre-back André Ramalho trained partially during the week after a labyrinthitis episode, then rejoined the group and could be an option.

The main absentee remains striker Yuri Alberto, who is under physiotherapy after a grade 2 right thigh injury, having suffered a setback due to fibrosis.

Zakaria Labyad is recovering from a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament and a meniscus injury in his left knee. Forward Kayke is also in long-term rehabilitation after ACL reconstruction surgery.

Seven Corinthians figures are one booking from suspension for the trip to Internacional on 7 October, namely Fernando Diniz, Kaio César, Kauê, Jesse Lingard, Matheus Bidu, Matheus Pereira and Rodrigo Garro.

Yuri Alberto is also on that list, although he will not be selected.

Corinthians are looking to stop a poor run, with six winless matches this season, five straight league defeats and elimination in the Libertadores quarter-finals. They sit 14th on 32 points.
