Corinthians fans want academy star to replace Garro in Majestoso | OneFootball

Coach Dorival Júnior will have a headache for the derby against São Paulo, scheduled for this Thursday. Attacking midfielder Rodrigo Garro received his third yellow card in the last round and will have to serve a suspension in the Majestoso.

While there are still doubts among the coaching staff, Corinthians fans have already chosen their favorite to replace the Argentine. In a poll conducted by Gazeta Esportiva, fans decided that Dieguinho would be the best option to take Garro's place.

The poll was also closely contested. Dieguinho was the main choice among fans, with 36.17% of the votes. Another portion of the supporters (30.85%), on the other hand, would prefer to see Breno Bidon playing further forward, as has happened in other Corinthians matches under Dorival.

Another part of the Fiel Torcida (23.4%) would opt for André Carrillo to replace Garro. Finally, the least voted option among fans was to move Memphis Depay back, which would mean bringing in a new player to lead the attack alongside Yuri Alberto. This alternative received only 9.57% of the votes.

Revealed in Corinthians' youth system, Dieguinho recently got his first chance as a starter in the senior team. He started and played the full 90 minutes in the 1-0 defeat to Ceará in the last round of the Brasileirão, and was one of the few who stood out for Timão.

Breno Bidon, meanwhile, got used to playing Garro's role during the period when the Argentine was injured. Dorival has always made it clear that, in his view, the player has more characteristics of an attacking midfielder than a defensive one. The number 27 reinvented himself and did well.

Carrillo also has quality with the ball at his feet, as does Memphis. Both, however, may be more useful in their original positions. Now, it remains to be seen what Dorival's decision will be to replace Garro.
