Corinthians is set for the match against Atlético-MG, valid for the 29th round of the Brazilian Championship. Coach Dorival Júnior has defined the starting lineup with the return of the GYM trio – Garro, Yuri Alberto and Memphis – and two changes in defense.

Corinthians again counts on the GYM trio

The main novelty in Corinthians’ lineup is the trio Garro, Yuri Alberto and Memphis Depay. The three return to the starting XI after more than two months, which excites the Alvinegro fans for the remainder of the Brasileirão.

In defense, the change starts in goal: Hugo Souza returns to the Alvinegro net after representing the national team. At center back, Cacá replaces the suspended Gustavo Henrique, while Matheus Bidu returns to the starting 11 after serving a suspension in the derby against Santos.

Corinthians’ lineup is: Hugo Souza; Matheuzinho, Cacá, João Pedro Tchoca and Matheus Bidu; Raniele, Maycon, Breno Bidon and Garro; Memphis and Yuri Alberto.

Finally, the new faces on the bench are Romero and Félix Torres, who returned to the club after the FIFA break and are available.

Timão has a total of five absences for Saturday’s clash. They are: André Ramalho and Carrillo (physical reconditioning), Vitinho (arthroscopy on the right knee), André Luiz (ankle sprain) and José Martínez (coach’s decision after recent absences from training).

Atlético-MG will start Hulk

On the other side, Atlético-MG will have Hulk back in the starting lineup. The forward replaces Dudu. Victor Hugo, who served a suspension in the last round, also returns to the starting 11. Galo has opted to take the field with a back three again.

In addition, Galo also sees the returns of center back Júnior Alonso, who forms a trio with Vitor Hugo and Ruan, and midfielder Alan Franco, who will partner Fausto Vera and Igor Gomes in midfield. Both call-ups returned after the FIFA break.

Atlético-MG is set with: Everson; Vitor Hugo, Ruan and Junior Alonso; Saravia, Alan Franco, Fausto Vera, Igor Gomes and Caio; Hulk and Biel.

Coach Jorge Sampaoli will not be able to count on the injured Lyanco, Cuello, Caio Maia, Patrick, Junior Santos and Cadu, in addition to Alexsander (physical reconditioning).
