Corinthians will have Renato Augusto absent for the classic against Santos, on the 21st (Wednesday). The player suffered edema in his left calf during the match against Cuiabá last Saturday. Coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo has a few options to replace the number 8’s absence.
Adson, for example, has started on the bench in three of his last four games and is a strong candidate to start against Peixe. The number 28 shirt even replaced Renato against Dourado, who came on in the 19th minute of the first half.
Who can also fill the role of Renato Augusto is the midfielder Guilherme Biro, owner last Saturday. The player can play in all flanks of midfield, alternating between flank and midfield. The athlete enjoys a lot of prestige with the coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo, who did not want the athlete to be released for the under 20 World Cup.
One name that runs out is that of Ruan Oliveira, who shone in the match against Cuiabá. The 23-year-old entered the second stage and scored the equalizer for the side. This was Ruan’s first game in nearly three years, due to successive knee injuries.
Luxa has other options in the squad, such as Giuliano and Matheus Araújo, but the pair lacked prestige with the coach. Names like Fausto, Roni and Maycon play at the back of the field.
Corinthians and Santos will face off next Wednesday, at 20:00 (Brasilia time), for the 11th round of the Brazilian championship. The ball rolls on the lawn of Vila Belmiro.
