Internacional and Corinthians prepare for upcoming matchup

Both Internacional and Corinthians are preparing for their upcoming match at the Beira-Rio stadium.

Internacional midfielder Thiago Maia is expected to return to the starting lineup. He has been training with the starters under coach Eduardo Baptista and is being considered to partner with Villagra. The tactical shift may see Thiago Maia providing coverage on the left side to allow Bernabei more freedom to advance as a wing-back.

On the Corinthians side, left-back Matheus Bidu has missed recent training sessions due to ongoing pubic pain and a suspected small hernia. The club is managing his workload through conservative treatment to avoid surgery, which could sideline him for 30 days. While his availability for Wednesday remains uncertain, Corinthians received positive news regarding striker Yuri Alberto, who has completed his recovery and returned to full training.
