Lucas Ronier Out for Coritiba Vs Bahia as Seabra Adjusts

Lucas Ronier will miss coritiba vs bahia on 25 May 2026, and Coritiba has already moved to a different attacking plan for Couto Pereira. The 21-year-old forward is still in treatment for a muscle edema in his right thigh, so Fernando Seabra has to work without one of his rotation options.

Coritiba and Bahia both arrive on 23 points, with Bahia ahead on tiebreakers and sitting 7th while Coritiba is 8th in the Brasileirão. That puts the match in the 17th round under immediate pressure, with every selection change carrying more weight in the table than it would in a gap matchup.

Ronier’s injury timeline

Ronier was hurt in Coritiba’s 2-0 loss to Santos on 13 May 2026 in the second leg of the fifth phase of the Copa do Brasil. He also missed the 3-0 win over Santos on 17 May 2026 at Neo Química Arena in the 16th round of Série A, and the club expects him back against Flamengo on Saturday 30 May 2026 at Maracanã in the 18th round.

The absence trims Coritiba’s attacking rotation for a match that already asks for precision. Seabra’s options still include Breno Lopes, Pedro Rocha, Lavega, Renato Marques, Fabinho and David, but Ronier’s removal leaves one fewer forward available if the game tightens late.

Tinga and Bahia’s absences

Coritiba also ruled out right-back Tinga after a calf injury against Santos in the Copa do Brasil, and JP Chermont is expected to start in his place. Bahia have their own absences: Erick and Rodrigo Nestor are suspended after their third yellow card against Grêmio, while Luciano Juba is out with an injury to the rectus femoris muscle in his left thigh.

Coritiba’s edge at Couto Pereira is thin enough that one injury and one suspension can alter the shape of the match. The club’s last win over Bahia came in December 2014, when it rallied from 2-0 down to win 3-2, and this meeting arrives with the same points total but no cushion for either side.
