Corinthians set for eight absences with six at risk for Internacional clash | OneFootball

Corinthians host Internacional on Sunday in the 10th round of the Brasileirão at 19h30, Neo Química Arena. According to Meu Timao, they are set to have eight absences and six players a booking away from suspension.

Out of contention are Memphis Depay, who is treating a grade 2 right thigh injury, and Kaio César, in the final phase of recovery from a right hamstring issue. Gui Negão has a grade 2 right hamstring injury, and left-back Hugo Farias is out with a lateral meniscus problem in his right knee.

Centre-back Gabriel Paulista is a doubt after muscle discomfort in training and is not expected to feature. João Pedro Tchoca is also uncertain. As a result, academy prospect Igor Machado is expected to be named on the professional bench for the first time.

Dorival Junior will also be without left-back Matheus Bidu, suspended after his third yellow in the defeat to Fluminense, and midfielder Allan, dismissed in the same match.

On the positive side, goalkeeper Hugo Souza and midfielder André Carrillo return after international duty during the FIFA window. Midfielder Raniele is available again after suspension.

Those at risk of a ban for the next league game against Palmeiras are André Carrillo, left-back Fabrizio Angileri, centre-backs Gustavo Henrique and André Ramalho, goalkeeper Hugo Souza and right-back Matheuzinho.
