With absences, Romero could get his chance at Corinthians | OneFootball

Romero might get a chance to return to the Corinthians team for the rest of the season. Due to injury of Vitinho, the Paraguayan may return to the starting lineup of Dorival Júnior.

One of the oldest players in the current Corinthians squad, Romero is not having a good season. In 44 games this year, the Paraguayan scored only five goals and provided three assists. He also saw the emergence of Gui Negão and the good form of the offensive sector of Timão, losing space in Dorival Júnior's team.

Despite having an uncertain future at Corinthians, Romero may appear as a starter in the return of the Fifa Date, on October 15, against Santos, at Vila Belmiro.

Fight for the starting spot

With Vitinho out indefinitely, as he will undergo arthroscopy this Monday, Dorival Júnior will have a headache to rotate the Corinthians squad. Despite the return of Depay, the good moment of Yuri Alberto and Gui Negão emerging, the coach has few options on the wing.

Currently, Dorival Júnior has Talles Magno and Romero fit to play and with professional experience. In addition to them, he also has the promise Kayke, only 21 years old. The player was revealed this season and has only played nine times.

Corinthians' Phase

After defeating Mirassol in the last round of the Brasileirão, Timão seeks to start a positive streak in the Brazilian Championship after the Fifa Date. Currently, Corinthians is in the 12th position of the national competition, with 33 points – eight units more than Vitória, 17th place and the first team in the relegation zone.
