“Embezzlements plague Corinthians in important Derby against Palmeiras”

Corinthians returns to the field this Saturday for an important Derby against Palmeiras for the third round of the Brasileirão, at Allianz Parque. Still without a coach hired, Timão will have Danilo, former midfielder and commander of the Under-20, coach in the appointment, which will have at least seven embezzlements.

The newest embezzlement is the Uruguayan defender, Bruno Méndez. The club did not detail the absence from the related list, but the young man felt discomfort in the duel against Remo and had to be replaced. Who continues in recovery is young Pedro, 17 years old. The striker suffered an ankle injury in last Sunday’s match against Goiás for the Brazilian Championship, and should be without Corinthians for at least one more match. Fagner suffered edema in the posterior muscle of the left thigh, he acted in the sacrifice against Remo, it’s related, but it’s doubtful.

In addition to the trio, the team will not have: Renato Augusto, Rafael Ramos, Caetano, Ruan Oliveira and Gustavo Silva. All of them are handed over to the club’s medical department – see each case below.

• Bruno Mendez: felt uncomfortable on Wednesday;
• Renato Augusto: knee arthroscopy recovery;
• Raphael Ramos: transition after discomfort in the posterior thigh muscle;
• Caetano: edema in the hamstring muscle;
• Ruan Oliveira: recovery from surgery on the anterior cruciate ligament of the knee;
• Gustavo Silva: recovery from surgery on the anterior cruciate ligament of the knee;
• Pedro: ankle injury.

Corinthians is experiencing a moment of pressure in the season. The classification in the Copa do Brasil served as a “breathing” in the planning of the season, but it did not improve the mood in the squad, after all, coach Cuca handed over his position after six days at Parque São Jorge.

With a victory and a defeat in two rounds, in addition to the change of heart at CT Joaquim Grava, the three points could leave Timão at the top of the table in the Brasileirão.
