Corinthians reveal rotated line-up to face Velo Clube in Paulistão

By Central do Timão Editorial Team

On the evening of this Sunday (25th), at 8:30 PM (Brasília time), Corinthians visits Velo Clube at the Agnelo Bendito Castellano Stadium for the fifth round of the group stage of the 2026 Paulista Championship. At this moment, the Alvinegro occupies the eighth position in the overall state standings with five points – only the top eight advance to the knockout stage.

The Corinthians coaching staff will not be able to count on the following players for tonight's match in the interior of São Paulo: defender Cacá (internal oblique muscle strain on the left side), midfielder José Martínez (still in Venezuela seeking the reissuance of his passport to return to Brazil), and forward Memphis Depay (physical improvement, already training with the ball). As reported by Central do Timão, the expectation is that the number 10 will be available for the Supercopa do Brasil final against Flamengo in Brasília next Sunday (1st).
