Corinthians name side to face Palmeiras in Brasileiro Feminino | OneFootball

Corinthians Women return at 21:30 to face Palmeiras at Arena Barueri in the third round of the Campeonato Brasileiro, after almost a month off for the FIFA international window.

According to Meu Timao, Emily Lima’s first starting XI is Lelê, Gi Fernandes, Erika, Letícia Teles, Juliete, Duda Sampaio, Andressa Alves, Letícia Monteiro, Gabi Zanotti, Vic Albuquerque and Jhonson.

The bench features Ana Morganti, Thais Ferreira, Gisela Robledo, Ariel Godoi, Ju Passari, Belén Aquino, Rhaizza, Jaqueline, Dayana Rodríguez, Tamires, Carol Nogueira and Ana Vitória.

The Dérbi marks Lima’s debut after replacing Lucas Piccinato, who was dismissed following the 2-2 draw with Fluminense. She has led training since 25 February and only had a full squad in recent days after players returned from international duty.

Palmeiras line up with Tapia, Rhay Coutinho, Poliana, Pati Maldaner, Raissa Bahia, Fe Palermo, Ingryd Lima, Brena Carolina, Andressinha, Bia Zaneratto and Tainá Maranhão.

They are without centre-backs Thaís Regina, recovering from surgery on a fractured fibula in her left ankle, and Agustina, who has a muscle injury in her left leg.

Corinthians have already finished runners-up at the Club World Cup against Arsenal and in the Supercopa against Palmeiras this season. They sit sixth in the league on four points and will also contest the Teal Rising Cup, the Copa do Brasil, the Paulistão and the Libertadores this year.
