Raniele picks up adductor injury, misses Corinthians v Ceará clash | OneFootball

Substituted still in the first half of the match against Red Bull Bragantino last Wednesday, midfielder Raniele was diagnosed with an injury to the adductor muscle of his right leg. Corinthians confirmed that the number 14 has already begun physiotherapy treatment at the Joaquim Grava Training Center.

Raniele had been an important piece in the black-and-white midfield under Dorival Júnior, taking part in 45 matches this season.

His absence is a significant blow for the clash with Ceará, scheduled for Sunday at 4 p.m. (Brasília time) at Neo Química Arena, for the 33rd round of the Brazilian Championship.

The midfielder joins Vitinho, who is still in physical transition after surgery on his right knee. Dorival is expected to decide Raniele’s replacement during the training sessions leading up to the match. Ryan is the favorite to take the position, since Charles was sent off in the last game.

Defeated 2-1 in Bragança Paulista, Corinthians saw their run of three consecutive wins and their best defensive phase of the season come to an end, after three games without conceding a goal. With 42 points, the team sits in tenth place, nine points behind the G6 of the competition.
