Corinthians welcome Carrillo and Martínez back to face Vitória, line-ups | OneFootball

Corinthians is set to face Vitória this Saturday, in a match valid for the 30th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. Due to absences, coach Dorival Júnior has decided on the Timão lineup with Carrillo returning to the starting eleven, as well as José Martínez being improvised at right back. The Peruvian has recovered from injury, while the Venezuelan returns after missing recent training sessions.

Changes and News at Corinthians

Dorival was forced to make two changes to Corinthians’ starting lineup due to the suspensions of midfielder Maycon and right back Matheuzinho. Motivated by these absences, the coach chose to bring two new players into the starting eleven: André Carrillo and José Martínez. The Venezuelan will play as right back, while the Peruvian will take a midfield role.

Another change is in goal. Goalkeeper Hugo Souza suffered a shoulder dislocation and is out of the squad. As a result, young Felipe Longo will make his second start as a professional for Corinthians.

Corinthians’ lineup is: Felipe Longo; José Martínez, João Pedro Tchoca, Gustavo Henrique and Matheus Bidu; Raniele, André Carrillo, Breno Bidon and Rodrigo Garro; Memphis Depay and Yuri Alberto. 

Finally, a new face on the bench is André Ramalho. The defender has recovered from a muscle strain in his right hamstring and is once again available to Dorival Jr., starting the match on the bench.

In addition to Hugo Souza, Maycon, and Matheuzinho, Corinthians also have the following absentees: Vitinho (arthroscopy on right knee) and André (ligament injury in right ankle).

Vitória Has Important Reinforcements

On the other side, Vitória will have four important reinforcements to face Timão. Defender Camutanga, forwards Erick and Renato Kayzer, and midfielder Dudu return from suspension. The first three have been named in the starting lineup, while the latter starts on the bench.

Vitória’s lineup is: Lucas Arcanjo; Lucas Halter, Camutanga and Zé Marcos; Paulo Roberto, Willian Oliveira, Ronald and Ramon; Erick, Aitor and Renato Kayzer.

The Leão will be without Raúl Cáceres, who is suspended. Midfielders Baralhas and Rúben Ismael, goalkeeper Alexandre Fintelman, defender Edu, right back Claudinho, left back Jamerson, and forward Fabri, all injured, are also out.

Vitória and Corinthians face off soon, at 4pm (Brasília time) this Saturday, at Barradão.
