Corinthians will not have Bidu and must improvise Milans against Athletico

The information was initially published by "Meu Timão" and confirmed by the report.

INJURY AND SUSPENSION PAVES THE WAY FOR MILANS

Bidu had already been absent in the 1-1 draw with Bahia, last Sunday, in Salvador. The left-back was monitored by Corinthians' medical department in recent days, but was not physically fit to be available to the technical committee.

In Bidu's absence, Fabrizio Angileri was the starter against Bahia and scored the Corinthians goal at Arena Fonte Nova. The Argentine, however, received his third yellow card in the match and will serve an automatic suspension against Athletico-PR.

Without the two original options for left back, coach Fernando Diniz used Pedro Milans in the sector during the last training sessions. The Uruguayan, therefore, appears as the main candidate to start the match on the left-handed wing.

Original right-back, Milans had already been improvised in the position in the final minutes of the duel against Bahia, precisely after Angileri left.

Corinthians' likely lineup to face Athletico-PR is: Hugo Souza; Matheuzinho, Gabriel Paulista, Gustavo Henrique and Pedro Milans; Raniele, André, Breno Bidon and Rodrigo Garro; Kaio César and Yuri Alberto.
