Léo Mana completes month without playing on Criciúma loan | OneFootball

Corinthians right-back Léo Mana, on loan at Criciúma, completed a month without an appearance on Tuesday, having played only two matches in 2026.

Meu Timao notes the 22-year-old has struggled for minutes at the Santa Catarina club this year.

He featured on 6 April for 24 minutes in a 1-0 defeat to Goiás at Estádio da Serrinha, coming off the bench.

His most recent appearance was on 19 April, introduced at 37 minutes of the second half in a 3-2 loss to Fortaleza at Castelão in Série B’s second round. He has since remained unused by Eduardo Baptista against CRB, Cuiabá and Atlético-GO.

Mana’s loan to Criciúma was announced on 14 August 2025 and runs until 31 July 2026. He has made eight appearances, totalling 170 minutes last year in Série B and 32 minutes this season.

Despite the limited minutes, Criciúma lifted the Taça Acesc in March, beating Camboriú 8-7 on penalties. The competition involved sides eliminated in the Campeonato Catarinense quarter-finals and semi-finals and earned a 2027 Copa do Brasil place.

A Corinthians academy graduate, Mana played 112 times at under-17 and under-20 level. He made his senior debut in 2022 in a 1-0 defeat to América-MG and has 30 first-team games, 18 starts, no goals and one assist. His Corinthians deal runs until December 2029.

The expectation is that he will return to Corinthians when his loan ends in July. Fernando Diniz currently has Matheuzinho, Pedro Milans and João Vitor Jacaré as right-back options.
