On the other hand, coach Dorival Júnior is expected to have the return of forwards Memphis Depay and Kaio César. The duo, who started in the 1-1 draw in the derby against Santos, were rested in the match against Chapecoense, which ended in a 0-0 draw.

In addition to the absences, Corinthians will have to keep an eye on the players who are one yellow card away from suspension. If they are booked this Thursday, they will not face Fluminense on April 1, a Wednesday, at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the ninth round of the national competition. They are: goalkeeper Hugo Souza, defender Gustavo Henrique, right-back Matheuzinho, left-back Matheus Bidu, defensive midfielder Raniele, and midfielder André Carrillo.
