Why Is Arias Absent from Corinthians vs. Palmeiras Match?
Palmeiras will meet Corinthians on Sunday, April 12, 2026, at Neo Química Arena. Kickoff is scheduled for 18:30 Brasília time. The match is part of the Série A round 11 fixture list.
Reason for absence
Arias is suspended and will not play in the Corinthians vs. Palmeiras match. He collected a third yellow card in Palmeiras’ 2-1 away win over Bahia.
The booking came after a foul late in the second half. The suspension was triggered automatically by the accumulation of cautions.
Who replaces Arias
Sosa is expected to start in Arias’ place. The coach prefers him as the most direct tactical alternative.
Palmeiras may line up with a forward pairing of Sosa and Flaco López. Other midfield roles will be adjusted accordingly.
Probable starting eleven
- Carlos Miguel (goalkeeper)
- Giay; Gustavo Gómez; Murilo; Arthur (defense)
- Marlon Freitas; Andreas Pereira; Allan; Mauricio (midfield)
- Sosa; Flaco López (attack)
Arias’ record at Palmeiras
Since his arrival, Arias has appeared in 12 matches for Palmeiras. He has scored three goals for the club.
His absence therefore affects both rotation and attacking depth. The team will need to adapt without his presence.
