Probable lineup and absences for Corinthians

Corinthians arrive for the competition with important absences, mainly due to the FIFA international window.

Meanwhile, Belén Aquino will represent Uruguay, Gisela Robledo will represent Colombia, and Dayana Rodríguez will be with the Venezuela national team for the CONMEBOL Women’s Nations League.
