Without Fagner and Avelar, Corinthians will have a modified defense against Fluminense; see options | corinthians

The trend is for Bruno Méndez to be included in the defense, moving Gil to the left side of the sector and occupying the right side of the Corinthians defense.

Fagner will be replaced very possibly by Michel Macedo, his immediate reserve and who was shot by Tiago Nunes in the intermission of the classic.

Fagner was sent off at Dérbi against Palmeiras in the first half, deliberately placing his hand on the ball inside the area to avoid what he imagined would be a goal. Luiz Adriano converted the penalty and led the way to victory alviverde.

Danilo Avelar was sent off in the final stretch of the match, after a tough tackle at the wheel Patrick de Paula. The leg of the Palmeirense player bleeds. Avelar had started every Corinthians game this second half.

Thus, the possible formation of the defense for this Sunday’s game is: Cássio, Michel Macedo, Bruno Méndez, Gil and Lucas Piton. The left-back can still be replaced by Sidcley, as Tiago made such a change down the stretch of the game last Thursday.
