Jhonson returns for Corinthians in win over Juventude | OneFootball

Corinthians’ 1-0 victory over Juventude on Monday night (20), in the Brazilian Women’s Championship, marked the return of a player to the black-and-white squad. Forward Jhonson was used again after nearly a month without taking the field for the Brabas.

The player’s last appearance had been on March 23, in the 4-0 win over América-MG at Neo Química Arena. On that occasion, the forward came on at halftime. Since then, she had not played again until the match in Bento Gonçalves.

During that period, Jhonson was left out of different team commitments. She was not included in the squad list for Brasileirão matches and also did not travel with the delegation that went to the United States for the Teal Rising Cup. On the occasion when her absence was officially explained, against Botafogo, the club reported that she was feeling unwell with a suspected fever. In the following matches, no justification was disclosed.

According to Meu Timão, part of the player’s absence was also linked to a technical decision by the coaching staff led by Emily Lima.

In the current season, the forward has posted more modest numbers compared to previous years. So far, she has played in seven matches, with 256 minutes on the field and one goal scored — in the 3-2 loss to Palmeiras in March, the match that marked the coach’s debut in charge of the team.

Since being promoted to the professional squad in 2023, Jhonson has made 51 appearances in a Corinthians shirt, 28 of them as a starter. In that span, she has been directly involved in 23 goals, with 20 goals and three assists, in addition to being part of the title-winning squads in the 2023 Campeonato Paulista and the 2025 Brasileirão and Libertadores.
