Pedro Raul regains starting run at Corinthians after almost two years | OneFootball

Pedro Raul has regained a run as a Corinthians starter after almost two years.

According to Meu Timao, he began the last two matches, facing Internacional in the Copa do Brasil on Thursday and Red Bull Bragantino in the Brasileirão on Sunday, and scored in both.

His previous sequence of consecutive starts for Corinthians came in August 2024, when he opened against Red Bull Bragantino and Fluminense on 13 and 17 respectively. He spent February to December 2025 on loan at Ceará.

His return to the side coincides with Yuri Alberto’s absence due to a muscle injury in the back of his right thigh. Fernando Diniz first turned to Gui Negão for the first leg of the Copa do Brasil last 16 against Internacional, but the youngster did not seize the chance, enabling the number 18 to start the next two and score twice.

In total, Pedro Raul has 67 Corinthians appearances, 20 of them starts, with six goals and four assists.

Focus now shifts to the Libertadores, with Corinthians visiting Rosario Central of Argentina at Estadio Gigante de Arroyito on Thursday at 21:30 for the first leg of the last 16.
