Corinthians and Santos face each other this Wednesday, 22, in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil finals and seek to start off with the right foot in the fight for the spot in the quarterfinals.
This Wednesday, the 22nd, the Corinthians receives the saints in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. Without winning a classic in the year yet, Timão has doubled its weight in the match against the rival, who is also looking to start ahead in the dispute for the spot in the quarterfinals. In addition to counting on the return of Fagner, Victor Pereira should also have two more “new” pieces available.
After being cut from the match against Goiás due to discomfort, William is available to enter the field. Further improving Timão’s offensive sector, the striker has great chances to start the match as a starter, but still fights for a spot with Gustavo Mantuan and Gustavo Mosquito.

Another reinforcement for the Portuguese coach is the return of john victor, defender who seems to be missing in the Alvinegro defensive sector. With an ankle sprain, the defender has been missing the Corinthians from the classic against the Sao Paulo, exactly one month ago, on the 22nd of May. Commenting on the return, João revealed that he is still in pain, but is available.
“Coming back at a time like this is important. When I’m on the field, I don’t know if I’m going to start or not, I’ll do my best. I hope to feel as little pain as possible, but I know that I will live with the pain until I recover 100%. Now I can train and run, it doesn’t interfere so much with the physical aspect. Let’s build a good result in the first game“, commented.
In addition to the duo, Corinthians must have three more players who have been missing the team in recent weeks. Among them are Junior Moraeswho was left out due to an allergic condition, and also Bruno Melo and Gustavo Silvawho tested positive for COVID-19, but have already passed the isolation period and should be options in Timão’s reserve bank.
