André to be on Corinthians bench for Estudiantes second leg | OneFootball

André will be included among the substitutes for Corinthians against Estudiantes in Wednesday's Copa Libertadores quarter-final second leg, reflecting the tie's significance and his role under Fernando Diniz.

According to Globo.com, the midfielder has made significant progress in his recovery from a right hamstring problem.

He joined most of Monday morning's ball work at CT Joaquim Grava as the squad reconvened after the defeat to Flamengo at the Maracanã.

Club footage showed him in boots, warming up with team-mates and striking through finishing drills.

Caution remains after he suffered the injury on nine August, on the eve of the league game with Red Bull Bragantino. The club currently lists him as in transition from the medical department to the pitch.

Kick-off on Wednesday is at 21:30 Brasília time, with a semi-final place on the line. The first leg in La Plata finished 1-1.
