Midfielder leads Corinthians’ attack in 2025 Brasileiro | OneFootball

Midfielder Rodrigo Garro is striving to regain his good performance after some injury issues this season. The number 8, last Sunday (2), had a standout performance in Alvinegro's 2-0 victory over Grêmio at the Neo Química Arena, during the 31st round of the Brazilian Championship, providing an assist for defender Gustavo Henrique after a corner kick.

The Argentine, according to Sofascore, a sports statistics app, leads several offensive categories for Corinthians in the Brasileirão, such as: assists (3), big chances created (9), key passes (38), and fouls suffered in the final third (15). On the other hand, he ranks second among the entire squad in accurate crosses (19). His rating is the highest (7.32).

In the current season, Rodrigo Garro played in only 15 of Corinthians' 31 matches in the national competition. This is because, between late March and May, the midfielder was sidelined due to patellar tendinopathy in his right knee. He even traveled to Spain seeking to speed up his recovery, receiving treatment from a professional who worked with Memphis Depay at Atlético de Madrid.

In mid-September, Garro also suffered a grade 2 calf injury and was a last-minute absence for Corinthians in the match against Fluminense at Maracanã, during the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship. The match ended with a 1-0 victory for Corinthians. In 2025, the 27-year-old player has scored two goals and provided eight assists (second in the squad in this regard) in 30 matches.

Additionally, according to R10Score, Rodrigo Garro is the fifth player with the most assists for Corinthians in the Brazilian Championship since 2025 – 13 in 51 games. He trails only Clayson (14 in 84 games), Ángel Romero (17 in 169 games), Jadson (20 in 106 games), and Fagner (23 in 268 games). The top-6 is completed by Renato Augusto, with 13 in 100 games.

Signed at the beginning of 2024 after a standout stint with Talleres, Argentina, Rodrigo Garro quickly became one of the main protagonists of the Corinthians squad, being crucial in the team's surge in the last edition of the Brasileirão – from the relegation zone to the preliminary phase of the Libertadores – and was decisive, especially in the classics, in winning the 2025 Paulista Championship against Palmeiras in Itaquera.

Last year, he was the leader in assists in the Brasileirão (10) and was included in the ESPN Silver Ball Selection of the competition. In total, he has scored 15 goals and provided 23 assists in 93 games (79 as a starter) – 44 wins, 24 draws, and 25 losses – 56% success rate.
