Corinthians land in Recife to face Sport | OneFootball

On Saturday night, Corinthians landed in Recife, where they will face Sport in a match valid for the 24th round of the Brazilian Championship. The ball gets rolling this Sunday at Ilha do Retiro, starting at 5:30 p.m. (Brasília time).

The Corinthians delegation traveled to the capital of Pernambuco in the afternoon, right after their last training session at CT Joaquim Grava, focusing on wrapping up preparations for the clash.

For the match, coach Dorival will have three “reinforcements” in midfield. Raniele, recovered from an injury to the back of his left thigh, has completed his physical transition. José Martínez, also recovered from injury, and Breno Bidon, who served a suspension in the win over Fluminense, have also been included in the squad.

On the other hand, Timão confirmed some important absences. Midfielder Charles, still in physical transition, and Memphis Depay, who has swelling in the back of his right thigh, were left out of the squad list. Other injured players, Carrillo (ligament injury in his left ankle) and Rodrigo Garro (right calf injury), as well as the young forward Gui Negão, who is suspended, were already certain to miss out.

Thus, the probable Corinthians lineup to face Sport is: Hugo Souza; André Ramalho, Gustavo Henrique and Angileri; Matheuzinho, Maycon, José Martínez, Breno Bidon and Matheus Bidu; Vitinho and Yuri Alberto.

Timão currently occupies ninth place in the Série A standings, with 29 points, and is starting to set its sights on the G6.
