Corinthians travel to Internacional with seven out and Lingard one booking from suspension | OneFootball

Corinthians visit Internacional at Beira-Rio at 19:30 on Sunday in the Copa do Brasil last 16 first leg. According to Meu Timao, Fernando Diniz is without seven players, and one is at risk of suspension.

In attack, Yuri Alberto has a posterior right thigh muscle injury, Kayke continues rehab after left ACL surgery, and Vitinho is recovering from left meniscus surgery. Memphis Depay has not returned to training and is in the final stage of talks to renew his contract.

In midfield, Zakaria Labyad suffered a meniscus injury and ruptured the ACL in his left knee, while Alex Santana is recovering from knee trauma. At the back, left-back Hugo Farias is in transition after a lateral meniscus injury to his right knee.

Only one player is on a booking. Jesse Lingard, cautioned in both ties of the previous round against Barra, would miss the return if booked, scheduled for 20:00 on Thursday 6 at Neo Química Arena.

There are boosts too, with left-back Matheus Bidu, playmaker Rodrigo Garro and striker Pedro Raul fit again and included in the squad.

Corinthians arrive on a run of four official matches unbeaten, their longest sequence since May. That streak began in Porto Alegre with a 3-1 win over Grêmio, and they now seek to progress and defend their Copa do Brasil crown.
