Corinthians are without Kayke, who is recovering from a left knee ACL injury, Hugo Farias, who is rehabbing after right knee meniscus reconstruction, and João Pedro Tchoca, who is returning from an inguinal hernia. Memphis Depay has left to join the Netherlands for the World Cup. Jesse Lingard has been allowed to return to England for family reasons, and Charles did not travel for technical reasons.

Hugo Souza, Fabrizio Angileri, Matheus Bidu and Rodrigo Garro are one booking from suspension. If any are cautioned against Grêmio, they will miss the next league match against Remo.

Corinthians sit 15th on 21 points, level with 14th-placed Grêmio. A win could move Timão closer to the G8.
