After another Brasileirão defeat, when Corinthians return to training | OneFootball

Throughout the afternoon this Sunday (20), Corinthians hosted Fluminense at Neo Química Arena in a match valid for the 28th round of the 2026 Brazilian Championship and was beaten 3-1. Corinthians’ goal in the match was scored by center-back Gustavo Henrique early in the second half. The defeat kept Alvinegro in 14th place with 32 points, with just eight wins, eight draws and 11 losses – 29 goals scored and 32 conceded, while seeing its gap to the relegation zone drop to three points.

After a sixth straight defeat in the Brasileirão, the squad led by coach Fernando Diniz will have a break in the match calendar due to the FIFA international window and will only return to training at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava next Friday, the 25th, as learned by Central do Timão. It is worth noting that, during this free period to work, Timão will be without the trio of Hugo Souza, Matheuzinho and Breno Bidon, all called up to the Brazilian National Team, as well as midfielder André Carrillo, called up by Mano Menezes to represent the Peruvian National Team.

The club from Parque São Jorge has not won in the Brazilian Championship since August 9, when it beat Red Bull Bragantino 2-0 at Estádio Cícero de Souza Marques in the 22nd round of the competition, with goals from midfielder Rodrigo Garro and forward Pedro Raul. Since then, there have been six straight defeats – Cruzeiro (H – 1-2), Coritiba (A – 2-1), Santos (H – 0-1), Chapecoense (H – 1-2), Flamengo (A – 2-1) and Fluminense (H – 1-3), matching the run it had in the 2006 edition of the tournament and extending its poor form at home.

Now, after being beaten by Fluminense in Itaquera in the Brazilian Championship, Corinthians remains focused on the national competition. After the FIFA international window period, in which there will be a little over two weeks for training, Timão will visit Internacional on October 7, Wednesday, at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time), for the 29th round of the national competition. There are only nine matches left until the end of the tournament: Internacional (A), Palmeiras (A), Vitória (H), Vasco da Gama (A), Mirassol (H), São Paulo (A), Botafogo (H), Grêmio (H) and Remo (A).
