Corinthians seek comeback against Internacional to reach Copa do Brasil quarter-finals | OneFootball

Corinthians host Internacional at 20:00 tonight at Neo Química Arena, needing a comeback to reach the Copa do Brasil quarter-finals. They trail 2-0 from the last-16 first leg.

Sunday’s match at Beira-Rio was stop-start and short on invention, decided early in the second half by Matheus Bahia and Alan Patrick. Meu Timao reports the latest team news and officiating appointments.

Corinthians must win by three or more to go through. A two-goal victory would send the tie to penalties.

Squad absences cover all lines. Left-back Hugo Farias is completing rehabilitation from a right lateral meniscus injury. In midfield, Zakaria Labyad has an ACL and meniscus tear in his left knee and Alex Santana has started reconditioning after trauma to the same joint.

Up front, Yuri Alberto has a muscle injury in the back of his right thigh. Kayke and Vitinho are returning from left knee operations, ACL for Kayke and meniscus for Vitinho. Memphis Depay has not yet resumed training and is in the final stages of talks to renew his contract.

Probable Corinthians XI: Hugo Souza, Matheuzinho, Gustavo Henrique, Gabriel Paulista, Matheus Bidu, Raniele, André Luiz, Breno Bidon, Rodrigo Garro, Kaio César and Pedro Raul, with Jesse Lingard an alternative.

CBF has appointed referee Felipe Fernandes de Lima of Minas Gerais, assistants Victor Hugo Imazu dos Santos and Felipe Alan Costa de Oliveira, fourth official Wanderson Alves de Sousa, and VAR Rodrigo Nunes de Sá.

Amazon Prime Video will stream the match.
