Youth prospect suffers ankle sprain, misses Corinthians v Atlético-MG clash | OneFootball

Midfielder André, from Corinthians, is out of the match against Atlético-MG. The young player was diagnosed with a sprain in his right ankle after last Friday’s training session and will miss the game. The club has not announced a timeline for his recovery.

In addition to André, four other players will also miss the Timão’s lineup for this Saturday’s match. They are: André Ramalho and Carrillo (physical transition), Vitinho (arthroscopy on his right knee), and José Martínez (technical decision after recent absences from training).

With André’s absence, the midfielders available to Dorival Júnior on the bench against Galo are only three: Charles, Luiz Gustavo Bahia, and Ryan.

André was recently promoted to the professional squad by Dorival’s coaching staff. The youngster started getting minutes and responded well, earning his place in the first team, especially amid the wave of injuries that has plagued the club.

The young midfielder made his debut for Corinthians against Fluminense, in the Brasileirão, on September 13. He has played four matches with the professional team, all coming off the bench, and scored one goal.

Without André, therefore, Corinthians will host Galo later today, starting at 6:30 p.m. (Brasília time) this Saturday, at Neo Química Arena, for the 29th round of the Brasileirão.
