Corinthians ready to face Athletico-PR, probable line-up revealed | OneFootball

The Corinthians is ready for the match against Athletico-PR. This Wednesday, the alvinegro squad trained at the Dr. Joaquim Grava Training Center and completed preparations for the clash, valid for the second round of the Brazilian Championship. The ball rolls from 7:30 PM (Brasília time) this Thursday on the pitch of Arena da Baixada.

The players started the day with a tactical instruction video in the briefing room of the training center. Following that, the athletes did strength training in the gym and then moved to the pitch, where coach Dorival Júnior conducted a tactical activity simulating game situations. There was also a rehearsal of set-piece plays.

Absences and Doubts

Dorival is considering resting some players due to the synthetic pitch. The coach is already without left-back Hugo (knee surgery), forwards Kaio César (right thigh injury) and Yuri Alberto (left thigh injury), and midfielder Breno Bidon (physical transition).

Midfielder Matheus Pereira, suspended in the match against São Bernardo last Sunday, may be back in the lineup. However, left-back Fabrizio Angileri, who is working on regaining better physical condition, and Moroccan midfielder Zakaria Labyad, who has not yet been officially announced as a club signing, are still unavailable.

Probable Corinthians Lineup

A probable lineup for Corinthians to face Athletico-PR includes: Hugo Souza; Matheuzinho, Gabriel Paulista, Gustavo Henrique, and Matheus Bidu; Raniele, André (Charles), Matheus Pereira, and Carrillo; Memphis Depay and Gui Negão.
