Midfielder suspended for Corinthians after third yellow in Paulistão | OneFootball

Corinthians was defeated by Palmeiras 1-0 on Sunday night at the Neo Química Arena, in a match valid for the seventh round of the Paulista Championship. During the classic, midfielder Matheus Pereira received his third yellow card and will be absent for the next State Championship match.

With the automatic suspension, the player will not be able to play against São Bernardo FC in the match next Sunday, which concludes the first phase of the competition. Thus, Matheus Pereira is expected to be available for the coaching staff only in the quarterfinals of the Paulistão.

To cover the absence, Corinthians is awaiting the possible return of André Carrillo, who missed the Derby due to discomfort in the adductor muscle of his left leg. In the classic, the spot was filled by attacking midfielder Rodrigo Garro. Additionally, there is anticipation for the return of midfielder José Martínez, who rejoined the squad last Saturday after resolving passport-related issues in Venezuela.

With the negative result, Timão dropped to fifth place in the standings, remaining with 11 points, and also missed the opportunity to finish the first phase of the tournament as the overall leader. Corinthians returns to the field on Thursday, February 12, this time for the Brazilian Championship. The team faces Red Bull Bragantino, again at the Neo Química Arena, with kickoff scheduled for 8 PM.
