Breno Bidon tops 2,000 minutes, key man at Corinthians in 2026 | OneFootball

Breno Bidon continues to gain space and prominence in Corinthians’ squad in 2026. A frequent starter under Fernando Diniz, the midfielder reached an impressive milestone this season by surpassing 2,000 minutes on the pitch, becoming the first non-defensive player in the squad to hit that mark this year.

The milestone was reached last Sunday (18), during Corinthians’ 3-1 loss to Botafogo at Nilton Santos Stadium in the Brazilian Championship. On that occasion, Bidon stayed on the field for 75 minutes before being replaced by Allan.

According to a survey released by the Fiel Imprensa profile, only four players in the squad have logged more minutes than the No. 7 in 2026: Hugo Souza, Gustavo Henrique, Matheus Bidu, and Matheuzinho.

With 2,035 minutes played so far, Breno Bidon is the fifth most-used player by Corinthians this season. The defensive midfielder has appeared in 28 matches this year and started 25 of them, cementing his importance within the team’s system.

In addition to his consistency on the pitch, the player is also enjoying his most prolific season since joining the senior team. In 2026, Bidon has already scored three goals, surpassing the combined total from the previous two seasons, when he had found the net only twice.

The No. 7’s goals came against Bahia in the Brazilian Championship, and in two derbies against São Paulo, one in the Brasileirão and the other in the Paulista Championship.

A product of the club’s youth academy, Breno Bidon has internally been regarded as one of the key pieces in Corinthians’ midfield and also as one of the squad’s most highly valued assets on the international market.

Corinthians now turn their attention to the Copa Libertadores. The team faces Peñarol this Thursday (22) at 9:30 p.m. Brasília time at Campeón del Siglo Stadium in Uruguay, in the fifth round of the continental competition’s group stage.
