Midfielder gets third yellow, out for Corinthians in the Majestoso | OneFootball

Corinthians faced Mirassol on Sunday night (3) at Estádio Municipal José Maria de Campos Maia, in a match valid for the 14th round of the 2026 Brazilian Championship, and lost 2-1. Timão’s goal was scored by midfielder Dieguinho late in the second half. The setback caused the team to drop three places in the table and fall into the relegation zone — 17th place with 15 points — three wins, six draws, and five losses — 10 goals scored and 13 conceded.

In addition to the defeat, Corinthians also has another reason to worry ahead of its next match in the national competition. That is because defensive midfielder Allan, who was one booking away from suspension, received his third yellow card and will not face São Paulo next Sunday (10), at 6:30 p.m., at Neo Química Arena, in the 15th round of the Brasileirão.

The midfielder was booked by Matheus Candançan in the 38th minute of the first half after fouling forward Alesson in midfield. Previously, he had already been shown a card in the matches against Red Bull Bragantino, at home, in the second round of the national tournament, and against Fluminense, at the Maracanã, in a ninth-round clash at the beginning of April.

Allan joined Corinthians at the start of 2026, arriving from Flamengo on loan until the end of the season. So far, he has made 16 appearances in a Corinthians shirt. Besides him, Alvinegro may also have the following absences for the match: center-back João Pedro Tchoca (pubalgia), left-back Hugo Farias (recovering from knee surgery), defensive midfielder Charles (right heel injury), as well as forwards Vitinho (right hip pain), Kayke (recovering from knee cruciate ligament surgery), and Memphis Depay (physical transition).

Now, Corinthians will return to the pitch next Wednesday (6), at 9:30 p.m., to face Santa Fé at Estádio El Campín, in the fourth round of the Conmebol Libertadores group stage. Fernando Diniz’s side has a 100% record and leads Group E with nine points. A positive result could secure the team an early qualification for the round of 16.
