Corinthians name full-strength XI for Flamengo clash in Brasileirão | OneFootball

According to Meu Timao, Corinthians have named a full-strength XI to face Flamengo, with kick-off at 20:30 at Neo Química Arena in the eighth round of the Brasileirão, as they look to end a run of six matches without a win.

Dorival Júnior sends out Hugo Souza, Matheuzinho, Gabriel Paulista, Gustavo Henrique, Matheus Bidu, Raniele, André Luiz, André Carrillo, Breno Bidon, Memphis Depay and Yuri Alberto.

Leonardo Jardim’s Flamengo start Rossi, Guillermo Varela, Danilo, Vitão, Alex Sandro, Evertton Araujo, Jorginho, Arrascaeta, Lucas Paquetá, Samuel Lino and Pedro.

Corinthians are without Felipe Longo, recovering from a right elbow ligament strain, and Hugo Farias, who had surgery on the right lateral meniscus. Kaio César has returned to the medical department with a right hamstring issue, while Jesse Lingard remains unavailable awaiting CBF BID registration and a work visa.

Gabriel Paulista, André Carrillo and Memphis Depay are back after being rested in the previous round. The match is pivotal for Dorival Júnior’s side, who have not won since 19 February, a 1-0 victory over Athletico-PR at the Arena da Baixada. That run, four draws and two defeats, included a Paulista semi-final exit and a slip from third to ninth, and a home win could move them closer to the G5.
