Jesse Lingard will miss Corinthians' Copa Libertadores tie against Rosario Central due to a left ankle sprain. The 33-year-old midfielder, ruled out of the match on August 21 at Neo Química Arena, missed Wednesday's training session according to ge.globo. Lingard, who played without restriction in Sunday's first-leg defeat to Cruzeiro, has largely been used from the bench under Fernando Diniz. Since arriving in March, he has made 25 appearances, 10 starts, with two goals and one assist.
Corinthians faces multiple absences, particularly in attack. André Ramalho, André Luiz, Kayke, Vitinho, Yuri Alberto, and Zakaria Labyad are in the medical department, while Allan serves a suspension for his first-leg dismissal. Memphis Depay has been included for the first time since his contract renewal on Tuesday. The Brazilian side aims for an easy win to reach the quarter-finals, though a draw would see the tie decided by penalties.
