Corinthians trio reach FIFA break without minutes in second half of season | OneFootball

Alex Santana, Hugo and Vitinho head into the FIFA international break without minutes for Corinthians in the second half of the season. According to Meu Timao, they are the only outfield players in the senior squad yet to feature.

Alex Santana has not appeared since the start of this half-season and remains unused by head coach Fernando Diniz. The No 80 has only played the friendly against Cascavel, which finished 0-0.

Hugo has recently returned to matchday squads and has been on the bench in some games. Following surgery for an inguinal hernia, regular opportunities have not followed.

Vitinho also spent time sidelined. Since recovering, he has been named in squads and was among the substitutes against Flamengo, as well as twice more, but is still awaiting his first minutes.

The trio could get their chance next month after the break. Corinthians' first fixture back is on 7 October, Wednesday, at 19:30, away to Internacional at Estádio Beira-Rio.
