After this weekend’s Brasileirão match, Coritiba fans will be able to follow two of their athletes in the FIFA event, striker Islam Slimani and defender Kuscevic. The two will play for Coxa on Sunday against Galo and then head towards international commitments.

Slimani was excluded from Algeria’s final squad by decision of the technical commission, but after playing at an excellent level with Coritiba, the striker is back on the list. The Algerian has already scored two goals and an assist for the Paraná club in the African national team and is seen as a reference within the team, as well as being the top scorer in the country’s history.

Slimani’s matches in Algeria will take place on 12 and 16 October, against Cape Verde and Egypt respectively. The expectation is that Coritiba’s number 9 will return in time for the duel against Cuiabá on October 18, but for logistical reasons there is already the possibility that he will not play this match.

In addition to Slimani, Kuscevic has been called up by the Chilean national team and will defend his country on 12 and 17 October, against Peru and Venezuela respectively. The defender’s situation is the same as the attacker’s, for the duel on the 18th, against Cuiabá, the presence of the defender depends on the logistics of the trip and the possibility that he will play on the FIFA date.

Coritiba returns to the pitch this Sunday (8), at 6.30pm, against Atlético-MG, in a match valid for the 26th round of the Brasileirão. Coxa remain at the bottom of the tournament, with just 17 points, but after ending their run of eight consecutive matches with a defeat, they have reached new heights in the Brazilian championship.
