Corinthians team news, Carrillo expected to start in midfield at Coritiba | OneFootball

Corinthians finalised preparations on Saturday morning for Sunday’s 24th round trip to Coritiba, with André Carrillo expected to replace the suspended Rodrigo Garro in midfield. Supporters protested at the entrance to Parque São Jorge as the squad completed its last session before travelling to Paraná.

The club said the players worked through technical and tactical drills, with Fernando Diniz giving special focus to attacking and defensive set pieces. He is likely to keep the core of his starting side.

The likely XI is Hugo Souza in goal, Matheuzinho, Gabriel Paulista, Gustavo Henrique and Matheus Bidu in defence, Raniele, Allan, André Carrillo and Breno Bidon in midfield, Kaio César and Pedro Raul up front.

Besides Garro, the Argentine, Corinthians are without Yuri Alberto, Kayke, Vitinho, André, Zakaria Labyad and André Ramalho, all in the treatment room.

Memphis Depay has been named in the squad and, as against Rosario Central on Thursday, will start on the bench as a second-half option. Corinthians are ninth on 32 points, with Coritiba one behind. Kick-off at Couto Pereira is 19:30 Brasília time on Sunday.
