Corinthians have confirmed their line-up for a decisive Copa Libertadores last 16 second leg against Rosario Central at Neo Química Arena at 21:30, with Memphis on the bench. According to Meu Timao, Fernando Diniz has named his XI.

Hugo Souza starts, with Matheuzinho, Gabriel Paulista, Gustavo Henrique and Matheus Bidu in defence, André Carrillo, Raniele, Breno Bidon, Rodrigo Garro and Kaio César in midfield, and Pedro Raul up front.

The substitutes are Kauê, João Pedro, Pedro Milans, Memphis Depay, Matheus Pereira, Fabrizio Angileri, Charles, Luiz Gustavo "Bahia", Iago Machado, Gui Negão, Dieguinho and Alex Santana.

Rosario Central, coached by Jorge Almirón, line up with Jeremías Ledesma, Augustín Sández, Gastón Avila, Ovando, Emanuel Coronel, Ibarra, Guaglianoni, Ángel Di María, Jaminton Campaz, Navarro and Enzo Copetti.

Memphis Depay is available after renewing his contract on Tuesday and, already registered, is among the substitutes.

Allan is suspended after his red card in the first leg at the Gigante de Arroyito. Jesse Lingard misses out with an ankle sprain.

André Ramalho was discharged from hospital on Wednesday after observation for labyrinthitis and will have further assessments in the coming days.

Zakaria Labyad has ruptured the ACL and meniscus in his left knee. André Luiz and Yuri Alberto have grade 2 right hamstring injuries, Kayke Ferrari is recovering from ACL surgery in his left knee, and Vitinho is rehabbing after a meniscus procedure on the same joint.

After a 0-0 first leg, Corinthians need a win to reach the quarter-finals. Another draw would take the tie to penalties, a home defeat would send the Argentines through.

If they advance, Corinthians will face Estudiantes and would play the second leg at home.
