Corinthians defender suspended for Atlético-MG after Santos loss | OneFootball

Corinthians will have an important absence for the next Brasileirão match. On Wednesday night, the 15th, during the team’s 3-1 defeat to Santos in the 28th round of the Brazilian Championship, defender Gustavo Henrique received his third yellow card and will not be able to play in the team’s next match in the competition.

The warning came at the end of the match, when the score was already sealed, issued by referee Flávio Rodrigues de Souza in the 43rd minute of the second half, after a foul committed by the Corinthians player on Robinho Júnior.

Coach Dorival Júnior may count on the return of André Ramalho to replace Gustavo Henrique, as the defender is in the final stages of recovering from a strain in his right thigh, to shore up the defensive system. If the No. 5 is not yet fit, Cacá or Félix Torres are alternatives to partner with João Pedro Tchoca, who remains among the starters.

With the setback at Vila Belmiro, Corinthians remained in 12th place in the Brasileirão, with 33 points. The team now returns to the field this Saturday at 6:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at the Neo Química Arena, against Atlético Mineiro, for the 29th round of the competition.
