Logistics hamper Corinthians, call-ups unlikely to be available | OneFootball

Corinthians are expected to have two important absences for next Wednesday’s clash against Fluminense. Goalkeeper Hugo Souza and midfielder André Carrillo, both called up to their respective national teams during this FIFA international window, are likely to miss the match.

Hugo is set to feature in the Brazil national team friendly next Tuesday against Croatia. The match will be played at 9 p.m. (Brasília time) in Orlando. As a result, given the complicated travel logistics, the expectation is that the player will miss the game for Timão or, at most, be an option on the bench.

Carrillo’s case is even more complicated. The player is expected to start for Peru in Tuesday’s friendly against Honduras, which will take place in Spain. Therefore, he is very unlikely to be available to coach Dorival Júnior.

One alternative would be to charter two planes to bring the players back from other countries. However, the cost of the operation is a major obstacle for the club, which is going through a serious financial crisis.

Corinthians, therefore, are expected to face Fluminense with five absences. In addition to the two players called up, Dorival will be without Memphis Depay and left-back Hugo, both injured, as well as defensive midfielder Raniele, who is suspended.

Timão return to training this Wednesday, beginning preparations for the match. The black-and-white side will have seven days of training ahead of the game and are trying to end a run of seven matches without a win this season.
