Diniz likely to name unchanged Corinthians side for Rosario Central Libertadores tie | OneFootball

Fernando Diniz oversaw Corinthians’ final workout on Tuesday at CT Joaquim Grava before Thursday’s Libertadores last 16 first leg at Rosario Central, kicking off at 21:30. He is likely to retain the side that defeated Red Bull Bragantino.

According to Globo.com, the squad will fly to Argentina this afternoon and finish preparations on Wednesday at Newell's Old Boys' training centre.

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

Memphis Depay will not travel as his contract extension has yet to be signed. The 32-year-old has been in Brazil for a week and did not attend CT Joaquim Grava on Tuesday.

Yuri Alberto also misses out while he continues recovery from a right thigh injury. Zakaria Labyad, Vitinho and Kayke remain in post-surgery rehabilitation and are unavailable for the first meeting with Rosario Central.
