Corinthians have seven out, Lingard one booking from suspension for Internacional decider | OneFootball

Corinthians host Internacional at 20:00 at Neo Química Arena needing to overturn a two-goal deficit to avoid Copa do Brasil last-16 elimination.

According to Meu Timao, Fernando Diniz will be without seven players. Left-back Hugo Farias is in transition after a lateral meniscus injury in his right knee. In midfield, Zakaria Labyad has a meniscus injury and a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, while Alex Santana is recovering from knee trauma.

Up front, Yuri Alberto has a muscle injury in the back of his right thigh, Kayke is rehabbing surgery on the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, and Vitinho is recovering from left-knee meniscus surgery. Memphis Depay has yet to return to training and is in the final stages of talks over a new contract with the club.

Jesse Lingard is the only Corinthians player one booking from a ban. Cautioned in both legs of the previous round against Barra, if he is booked again and Corinthians progress, he will miss the first leg of the quarter-finals.

Victory would keep alive their push for a fifth Copa do Brasil title and end a short winless run. Corinthians are without a victory in three matches, having lost to Internacional on Sunday after league draws with Bahia and Athletico-PR.
