Corinthians visit Barra-SC on Tuesday night (21) at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) in a match valid for the fifth stage of the 2026 Copa do Brasil, at Ressacada, in Santa Catarina. The clash will mark the debut of the tournament’s current champions, who are chasing their fifth national title.

Despite taking part in the last training session, Memphis Depay, the team’s biggest star, remains out due to an injury to the back of his right thigh. Also in attack, Gui Negão is still unavailable because of a muscle strain. Defensive midfielder Charles suffered an injury to his right heel and also remains sidelined in the medical department. Center-back João Pedro Tchoca has pubic pain and still has no timetable for a return to the pitch. Left-back Hugo Farias is still recovering from knee surgery in the medical department.

As previously reported by Central do Timão, Fernando Diniz has named the following lineup to start the match: Kauê; Matheuzinho, André, GH, Angileri; Allan, Matheus Pereira, Lingard; Pedro Raul, Dieguinho and Kayke

On the bench, the coach will have the following players available: Felipe Longo, Gabriel Paulista, Breno Bidon, Rodrigo Garro, Yuri Alberto, Vitinho, Raniele, Carrillo, Pedro Milans, Matheus Bidu, Kaio César and Zakaria Labyad.

Going through an unstable spell in the Brasileirão, the club from Parque São Jorge is looking to get back to winning ways after a goalless draw against Vitória in the league last weekend (18). While performances in the round-robin competition have fallen short of expectations, Timão have a 100% record in the Libertadores and are aiming to do the same in the Copa do Brasil.
