André Ramalho is treated for labyrinthitis. André Luiz is recovering from a grade 2 right thigh injury and Zakaria Labyad has a meniscus injury and a ruptured left ACL.

In attack, Yuri Alberto is recovering from a grade 2 right thigh injury and will be held back for the derby. Vitinho is rehabilitating after left knee meniscus surgery and Kayke is out for 2026 after rupturing his left ACL in April.

Corinthians are 10th on 32 points. Victory could lift them one place and bring them closer to the Libertadores spots, while keeping Santos within reach of the relegation zone.
