Lingard named in squad, could debut for Corinthians v Fluminense | OneFootball

Corinthians signing Jesse Lingard, an attacking midfielder, was included in the squad and traveled with the team for the match against Fluminense, which takes place this Wednesday at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã. The Englishman had not yet been registered in the BID due to bureaucratic issues, which were resolved during the FIFA international break. Corinthians’ official account posted a photo on social media of Jesse alongside squad players on the plane.

Is it finally happening?

Lingard was signed by Corinthians on March 6. However, because he is a foreign player, the bureaucratic procedures were more complex, requiring the issuance of a CPF tax ID number and a work visa. The latter, in fact, was published in Brazil’s Official Federal Gazette last Wednesday (25).

The Briton therefore was registered in the CBF’s BID (Daily Information Bulletin) last Thursday and became available to coach Dorival Júnior.

Corinthians did not rush the registration process. The coaching staff stressed the need for the player to go through a physical reconditioning process before making his debut. There was also the FIFA international break, which ended up being essential in the Englishman’s registration process.
