Corinthians confirm starting line-up for Libertadores quarter-final decider against Estudiantes | OneFootball

According to Meu Timao, Corinthians have confirmed their starting line-up for the Libertadores quarter-final second leg against Estudiantes at Neo Química Arena at 21:30. The tie is 1-1.

Fernando Diniz starts Hugo Souza, Matheuzinho, Gabriel Paulista, Gustavo Henrique, Matheus Bidu, André Carrillo, Allan, Breno Bidon, Rodrigo Garro, Kaio César and Memphis Depay.

Alexander Medina’s Estudiantes line up with Fernando Muslera, Mancuso, Santiago Nuñez, Gonzalez Pirez, Palacios, Lucas Piovi, Alexis Castro, Joaquin Correa, Baltasar Rodríguez, Tobio Burgos and Guido Carrillo.

Raniele is suspended, serving the second match of his two-game Conmebol ban after a red card in the round of 16 second leg against Rosario Central.

Injury absences include André Ramalho, back to partial field work after treatment for labyrinthitis, and Zakaria Labyad, who has an ACL rupture and meniscus damage in his left knee and is out for the year.

Yuri Alberto continues treatment for a grade 2 injury in his right thigh, while Kayke Ferrari is in long rehabilitation after ACL reconstruction and will also miss the rest of the year.

The main boost is André Luiz’s return to the squad after progress from a grade 2 right thigh issue, and he is available for the decider in Itaquera.

Corinthians go through with any win. Another draw means penalties, defeat would send Estudiantes through. If they advance, they face Flamengo or Independiente del Valle and will host the first leg due to an inferior group-stage record to both.
