Corinthians has a problem to solve ahead of the derby against Palmeiras this Sunday, at 6:30 PM (Brasília time), at the Neo Química Arena. With Matheuzinho being rested after feeling discomfort in the match against Athletico-PR on Wednesday, coach Dorival Júnior has to choose who should replace the player, who does not have an immediate backup for his position.
As options, Dorival can improvise with Félix Torres or Charles. Both have already played in this role in 2025, with the Ecuadorian so far being the favorite to take Matheuzinho’s place. However, Torres’ recent performances have concerned the coaching staff, who are likely to start Charles at right-back.
