Corinthians name line-up for Copa do Brasil decider against Internacional | OneFootball

Corinthians have named their side to face Internacional at Neo Química Arena at 20:00 in the Copa do Brasil round of 16 second leg, after a 2-0 defeat at Beira-Rio left them needing a comeback to stay in the competition.

According to Meu Timao, Fernando Diniz starts with Hugo Souza, Matheuzinho, Gabriel Paulista, Gustavo Henrique, Matheus Bidu, Raniele, André Luiz, Breno Bidon, Rodrigo Garro, Kaio César and Pedro Raul.

On the bench are Kauê, João Pedro, André Ramalho, André Carrillo, Pedro Milans, Matheus Pereira, Fabrizio Angileri, Allan, Charles, Gui Negão, Dieguinho and Jesse Lingard.

For Internacional, Paulo Pezzolano fields Matheus Cunha, Bruno Gomes, Gabriel Mercado, Maripán, Matheus Bahia, Paulinho, Bruno Henrique, Alan Patrick, Vitinho, Alexandro Bernabei and Johan Carbonero.

For this decider, Diniz again contends with absences across the squad. Hugo Farias is in physical transition after left knee surgery. In midfield, Alex Santana has resumed transition following right knee trauma, while Zakaria Labyad, who tore his right ACL and meniscus, is only due back next season.

The attack is most affected. Kayke is out with a left ACL injury and Vitinho is recovering from right knee meniscus surgery. Yuri Alberto is treating a grade 2 issue in the back of his right thigh, and Memphis Depay remains out as he finalises contract renewal formalities.

Corinthians must win by two to take the tie to penalties, or by three or more to reach the quarter-finals.
