It is worth noting that, for the derby against Ferroviária, leaders of the Paulistão Feminino, the club from Parque São Jorge is expected to have two absences: goalkeeper Lelê, who is in physical transition after being diagnosed with tendinopathy in the back of her thigh, and center-back Agustina, signed at the start of the season, who has yet to take the field due to a muscle tightness related to a scar in the soleus muscle of her calf.

On the other hand, center-back Thais Regina and midfielder Juliana Passari are available for the match after recovering from injury. In an interview with Corinthians TV, forward Jaqueline, one of the Brabas’ key players, shared her expectations for the derby: “Expectations are good, and we’re excited for this return. We know the quality of Ferrinha’s team, and I hope it will be an incredible match for us and that we can give our best. We prepared very well for this return, and I’m sure it will be a great game,” she said.

This season, Corinthians and Ferroviária have faced each other only once. On April 24, also at Parque São Jorge, Timão won 3-1 in the eighth round of the Brasileirão. The goals were scored by Jaqueline (twice) and Jhonson. In addition to the Campeonato Paulista, the Brabas will still have, in the second half of the year: the Brasileirão, the Copa do Brasil, and the Conmebol Libertadores, which will take place in Ecuador during the month of October.
