Corinthians with full strength

Corinthians will have full strength for the match against Flamengo, as Dorival Júnior has gained important reinforcements. Returning after being preserved, forward Memphis Depay, defender Gabriel Paulista, and midfielder André Carrillo will be starters.

Breno Bidon, a substitute against Chape, also returns to the starting lineup in place of Garro, who starts on the bench.

Corinthians is lined up with: Hugo Souza; Matheuzinho, Gabriel Paulista, Gustavo Henrique, and Matheus Bidu; Raniele, André, Bidon, and Carrillo; Memphis Depay and Yuri Alberto.

  1. Absences: Kaio César (perifibrotic inflammation in the posterior muscle of the right thigh), Jesse Lingard (awaiting work documentation), Allan (on loan from Flamengo), Felipe Longo (ligament strain in the right elbow), and Hugo (knee surgery on the right).

Flamengo lineup

Flamengo, on the other hand, had to make forced changes in the lineup. Léo Pereira and Pulgar, two pillars of the team, are suspended. Thus, coach Léo Jardim decided to give a chance to Vitão and Evertton Araújo, respectively. In defense, Danilo and Varela also get an opportunity.

Fla will take the field with: Rossi; Varela, Danilo, Vitão, and Alex Sandro; Evertton Araújo, Jorginho, and Arrascaeta; Paquetá, Samuel Lino, and Pedro.

  1. Absences: Léo Pereira and Pulgar (suspended), Saúl (ankle surgery on the left), Bruno Henrique (pubalgia), and Plata (technical option).
