Absences and Returns

Coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda will not be able to count on Tiquinho Soares against Corinthians. The center forward is suspended due to accumulation of yellow cards.

The defender Alexis Duarte should also not be available, as he will represent Paraguay in two friendlies on the Fifa date. The Paraguayan team faces South Korea on the 14th, the eve of the classic, at 8 am, in Seoul.
