Corinthians trio ruled out for Grêmio clash, here’s why | OneFootball

The Corinthians lost three players in the victory over Vitória. Raniele and José Martínez received their third yellow card, while Breno Bidon was sent off in Saturday's match in the Brazilian Championship. The three midfielders will therefore have to serve a suspension against Grêmio.

Improvised as a right-back, Martínez was cautioned at 36 minutes of the first half by referee Wilton Pereira Sampaio for a brief discussion with Ronald from Vitória. Raniele, on the other hand, was punished with a yellow card in stoppage time due to a hard foul on Erick.

Breno Bidon, in turn, was sent off at 34 minutes of the second half against Vitória. The number 27 had already received a yellow card two minutes into the second half and was cautioned again by Wilton Pereira Sampaio for a tackle on Lucas Halter.

The three midfielders are therefore suspended for the match against Grêmio. The match will take place next Sunday (11/02), at 4 PM (Brasília time), at Neo Química Arena, for the 31st round of Série A.

The situation in Timão's midfield became critical for the match against Grêmio. Despite this, the Alvinegro will have an important reinforcement. Midfielder Maycon served his suspension against Vitória and is available again for coach Dorival Júnior.

Besides Maycon, Timão also has midfield options such as André Carrillo, Charles, Ryan, and the youngster Luiz Gustavo Bahia. However, the team is still expected to have the absence of young André, who is recovering from a ligament injury in his right ankle.

José Martínez had just returned to Corinthians' starting lineup after the recent episode of missing six training sessions. This season, the Venezuelan has 43 matches, with one goal and two assists. Raniele, on the other hand, has two goals and two assists in 44 games. Bidon has accumulated one goal and one assist in 46 matches.
