Coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo stated in a press conference on Saturday that he will observe how the players recover from the last game to decide the team's game plan against Newell's. After a difficult group stage in the Copa Libertadores, the Corinthians team had to face the Peruvian Universitario in the Sudamericana playoffs, winning both matches in the tie.
Newell's travels to Sao Paulo after finishing as the leader of their group in the group stage, defeating Brazilian Santos and Bolivian Blooming, qualifying directly for the Round of 16.
However, the Argentine team faces pressure to go as far as possible in the Copa Sudamericana, as they have been eliminated from the Copa Argentina and are not performing well in the domestic league.
Regarding the lineup, winger Ramiro Sordo, who was out due to injury, has started training, while doubts remain about the participation of captain Pablo Pérez, who is also injured.
