Corinthians has important absence for debut in Brasileirão

Corinthians makes its debut in the Brasileirão this weekend against Botafogo, but will not have one of its main players on the field

O Corinthians will have to enter the field once again without being able to count on the side Fagner among the holders. The team already knows that the player will not have the player in his debut for the Brasileirão this Sunday, 10th, when he faces the Botafogo at 16:00 (Brasilia time) away from home, and the reason is not the recently diagnosed right thigh muscle injury.

It turns out that Fagner will have to serve suspension for being expelled in the last match of the Brazilian Championship last year. In the game in question, Corinthians visited the Youth and ended up being defeated by 1 to 0. That way, even if he is 100% recovered from the injury, the winger will not be able to help his teammates.

In the game in which he ended up being sent off in the Brasileirão, the player received a red card in the second half. In January of this year, the case was tried in the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD), which concluded that Fagner should be suspended for two matches in competitions held by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF).

As Corinthians did not appeal the decision of the STJD, Fagner is out of both this Sunday’s game, against Botafogo, as well as the commitment to the Hawaii next week, when the Alvinegros receive the opponent at the Neo Química Arena on Saturday, 16th, at 19:00 (Brasília time) for the second round of the Brasileirão.

Staying out of these two games on the one hand will be good for the side to fully recover from the injury and be available for the Libertadores match, when Corinthians face the Deportivo Cali on Wednesday, 13th. If it is not on the list of related ones, the expectation is that it will be in front of the Boca Juniors at home in the next round.

This Tuesday, the 5th, inclusive, João Pedro was the one who replaced Fagner in the team’s debut against always readywhere they were defeated by 2 to 0. However, the player ended up doing badly in the position, being responsible for the foul that resulted in the penalty for the home team, and consequently the first goal.
