Kauê returns to Corinthians duty after nearly four months out | OneFootball

Kauê marked his official return for Corinthians on Sunday night, as a 2-1 defeat at Coritiba left them 10th. The result at Couto Pereira kept the club on 32 points, seven off the G5 that secures a 2027 Libertadores place.

According to Meu Timao, Fernando Diniz rested Matheuzinho, Matheus Bidu and Hugo Souza, none of whom travelled to Paraná. Hugo’s absence allowed the young goalkeeper to resume duties between the posts after almost four months away.

Kauê’s previous competitive outing came on 26 April, a 1-0 win over Vasco at the Neo Química Arena in the 13th round. Earlier in the campaign he also featured in the 3-1 league defeat by Fluminense and the 1-0 Copa do Brasil victory against Barra.

During the mid-season World Cup pause he played the second half of a friendly with Cascavel on 12 July, which ended 1-1.

The No 51 remains available to Diniz for the run-in. Corinthians host Santos at the Neo Química Arena in the 25th round on Sunday, kick-off 16:00.
