Corinthians push to clear injury list for Copa do Brasil semi-final | OneFootball

The Corinthians are eagerly anticipating having the full squad available for Dorival Júnior in the second leg of the Copa do Brasil semifinal against Cruzeiro this Sunday. The club is working to clear the medical department and achieve a rare feat: no injuries.

Currently, two players from the squad are under the care of the medical department: Raniele and Yuri Alberto.

The midfielder missed the team in Belo Horizonte due to a thigh edema but has been undergoing intensive treatment to strengthen Corinthians in the decisive match. The club will evaluate the player moments before the game to determine if he can be included in the lineup.

The number 9, on the other hand, was substituted in the second half of the first match due to pain in the pubic area. The tendency is for him to play, but the amount of time he can spend on the field remains an unknown.

Suspense

Corinthians will create suspense about the physical condition of the duo. The club is expected to disclose the players' status only an hour before the match starts. The game is scheduled for 6 PM (Brasília time) at the Neo Química Arena.

Impeccable Campaign

Corinthians' campaign in the current edition of the tournament is impeccable. The team has won all seven matches played so far and has not conceded any goals. Additionally, the team has scored nine times.
