Gustavo Henrique voted Corinthians’ May player of the month after standout displays | OneFootball

Gustavo Henrique has been voted Corinthians’ May player of the month by supporters, earning an average 6.7 from 15,321 ratings.

The squad will pause for the World Cup, returning on 25 June to begin a mid-season camp, according to ge.globo.

Signed from Real Valladolid in January 2024, the 34-year-old centre-back quickly became a mainstay of the back line.

Since lifting the 2025 Campeonato Paulista, he has grown in influence, delivering decisive displays. He scored a key goal in last season’s Copa do Brasil triumph. He also contributed solidly to the 2026 Supercopa do Brasil win, a 2-0 victory over Flamengo at Mané Garrincha that secured a second title.

Henrique now sits on 105 appearances, with 50 wins, 22 draws and 33 defeats, plus 10 goals, four assists and three trophies.

In May, Corinthians played nine times across the Brasileiro, Copa do Brasil and Libertadores, recording four wins, three defeats and two draws. Henrique started eight and scored in the 1-1 draw at Independiente Santa Fe at El Campín in Bogotá. Kaio César averaged 6.5 to place second, with Zakaria Labyad on 6.2.

Corinthians face FC Cascavel in a friendly on 12 July at Estádio Olímpico Regional in Paraná. Their first competitive fixture after the World Cup has a provisional 22 July date, when Remo visit Neo Química Arena for round 19 of the Brasileiro.
