Dorival faces midfield dilemma for Corinthians v Ceará in Copa do Brasil | OneFootball

The coach Dorival Jr. will have extra work to set up Corinthians for the game against Ceará, in the 33rd round of the Brazilian Championship. In the 2-1 defeat to Red Bull Bragantino last Wednesday, the club gained some absences.

The Corinthians team will not be able to count on André Carrillo, Charles, and José Martínez. The first received the third yellow card, while the duo was shown the red card in the match that took place in Bragança Paulista. Meanwhile, Raniele is doubtful.

The midfielder felt his right thigh and was substituted still in the first half. Midfielder Rodrigo Garro iced his knee on the bench after leaving near the end of the game, but he is not a concern and should remain in Dorival's team.

Dorival's options

Without the quartet available, Dorival Jr. has options that are more limited. The names available in the sector are Breno Bidon, Maycon, Rodrigo Garro, and Ryan, who is running from behind. Thus, a possible midfield could be formed by: Maycon, Bidon, and Rodrigo Garro.

The coach hopes to be able to count on André Luiz again, who is in the physical transition process after recovering from an injury to his left ankle.

Standings situation

Finally, Corinthians' 2-1 defeat to Red Bull Bragantino interrupted the team's three-game winning streak in the Brazilian Championship. As a result, the alvinegra team remains in the tenth position in the standings, with 42 points. The gap to the G6, which was six points, has increased to nine.
