Corinthians midfielder suffers muscle injury after Derby exit with pain | OneFootball

Corinthians have another concern after the 1-1 draw with Palmeiras last Sunday in the Brasileirão. Midfielder Raniele left the field early due to muscle pain, and tests carried out on Monday confirmed an injury to the posterior muscle of the left thigh. The player has already started treatment with the club's physiotherapy this Tuesday, according to an official statement.

The problem was noticed 16 minutes into the second half, when Raniele signaled pain in the posterior region of the left thigh. Despite trying to continue on the field, he had to be substituted and left on a stretcher, causing concern on the bench.

This is not the first time Raniele has faced muscle injuries in 2025. In June, he had already suffered an injury to the same muscle in the left thigh, but managed to recover during the break for the Club World Cup. In May, he had discomfort in the right thigh, and in February he suffered a grade 2 injury in the left thigh, which sidelined him for three matches.

In the current season, Raniele has been a key piece for Dorival Júnior, playing 37 matches, 34 of them as a starter, and scoring one goal. The new injury, however, could jeopardize his continuity at an important time of the season.

Corinthians' midfield is already suffering from absences: André Carrillo is recovering from a ligament injury in the left ankle, José Martínez is treating a hand fracture, Yuri Alberto is in physical transition, and Matheuzinho did not play the Derby due to overload in the right thigh.

Timão only returns to the field after the Fifa date, which allows more time for the athletes' recovery. On September 10, Corinthians hosts Athletico-PR, at 9:30 pm, at Neo Química Arena, for the return match of the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil. As they won the first match 1-0, they have the advantage of a draw to advance to the semifinals.
