Corinthians may miss five vs Palmeiras, four risk suspension | OneFootball

Corinthians faces Palmeiras at the beginning of the evening this Sunday, August 31, at the Neo Química Arena, at 6:30 PM (Brasília time), in a match valid for the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship. Currently, the Alvinegro occupies only the 11th position with 25 points (six wins, seven draws, and eight losses – 22 goals scored and 27 conceded).

For the Derby, the Corinthians technical committee may have up to five absences: left-back Matheus Bidu (suspended), midfielders André Carrillo (left ankle surgery) and José Martínez (in transition after a left hand injury), and forward Yuri Alberto (in transition after inguinal hernia surgery).

Right-back Matheuzinho, who was substituted with muscle pain in the victory over Athletico-PR in the first leg of the quarter-finals, was diagnosed last Friday, the 29th, with an overload in the posterior muscle of the right thigh. Despite this, there is a chance that the number 2 will be among those listed for the classic against the Alviverde.

On the other hand, left-back Hugo Farias, who is available and has completed the transition phase, may go to the match. This is because the number 46 is fully recovered from inguinal hernia surgery. He has not played since May 3, when Alvinegro beat Internacional 4-2 in the seventh round of the Brasileirão, in Itaquera.

Additionally, Corinthians will have to be attentive to the five players on the brink of suspension for the match against Palmeiras this Sunday, who, if cautioned, will not face Fluminense on the next September 13, Saturday, at 9 PM (Brasília time), for the 23rd round of the national tournament. They are: Dorival Júnior (coach), Charles, Breno Bidon, and Gui Negão. Forward Yuri Alberto is another with two yellow cards but is not yet available.
