In addition, holding midfielder Cristian, initially out of manager Tite's plans for the coming season, has been registered for the tournament following the loss of Ralf to the Chinese Super League.

Meanwhile, 2013 Libertadores champions Atletico have registered their biggest signing of the off-season, Robinho, as well as highly sought-after center forward Lucas Pratto, who has been linked with a move to Europe.

Corinthians kick off their Copa Libertadores campaign on Wednesday night away to Chilean club Cobresal.

Atletico also travel for their first game in the continental competition on Wednesday to face Melgar of Peru.
