Corinthians quartet called up for Brazil friendlies against Argentina in October | OneFootball

Corinthians have had four players called up by Brazil for October friendlies against Argentina during the FIFA window. According to Meu Timao, head coach Arthur Elias selected Thaís Ferreira, Duda Sampaio, Jaqueline and Jhonson.

Before the window, Corinthians face São Paulo in the Brasileirão Feminino final on 26 September and three October. The first leg is at Neo Química Arena, the decider at Morumbis.

The first meeting is on 10 October at Estádio Beira-Rio in Porto Alegre. The second is on 13 October at Arena Pernambuco in São Lourenço da Mata, in the Recife metropolitan area.

Corinthians begin their Copa Libertadores campaign on 15 October against Colo-Colo of Chile in Quito, Ecuador. In the group stage each team plays three matches, and only the top two progress to the quarter-finals.

Elias acknowledged the timing could disrupt club planning, but said the national team’s cycle towards the 2027 World Cup must take priority. He added that while any club coach would want to keep key players, he sees no alternative but to pick those he considers best for Brazil.

The expectation is that the four call-ups will be available to Emily Lima for the Libertadores opener. Corinthians will need to arrange logistics to ensure they report back in Quito in time.
