The Corinthians secured a suspension relief for defender André Ramalho to play in the upcoming match against Palmeiras, on Monday at 8pm, at the Itaquerão. The absence of the player worried coach Ramón Díaz even more after the elimination in the Copa Sul-Americana.

What happened?

André Ramalho had been punished by the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) with a two-game suspension for his expulsion in the classic match against São Paulo.

Why does this matter for Corinthians?

The presence of André Ramalho is crucial for the team, which seeks an important victory against Palmeiras.

What's next?

The Corinthians is currently 15th in the Brasileirão, with 35 points, just one more than Red Bull Bragantino, the first team in the relegation zone. | Player | Position | | --- | --- | | Hugo Souza | Goalkeeper | | Matheuzinho | Right back | | André Ramalho | Defender | | Félix Torres | Defender | | Matheus Bidu | Left back |
