Signed in January, Agustina Barroso yet to debut for Corinthians | OneFootball

Announced as a Corinthians signing for the 2026 season, center-back Agustina Barroso has yet to make her debut in the black-and-white shirt. Last Friday (10), the Argentine defender reached three months since her signing without taking the field for the team.

The player joined the club on January 10, during the squad’s restructuring for the season, but ended up being unable to play due to a physical issue. Early in the year, Corinthians reported that Agustina had a recurring contracture linked to scar tissue in the soleus muscle of her left leg, a condition that kept her out of group activities.

The injury was officially announced on January 20, when the athlete was left out of the trip to England, where the Brabas played in the Club World Cup. Since then, the center-back has remained in recovery and has still not been called up for any matches in 2026.

So far, Corinthians have played ten matches this season, and Agustina has not been available for any of them, both under Lucas Piccinato and now under Emily Lima. In addition, the player has not yet begun the physical transition phase, and the club has not provided a timetable for her return to the pitch.

For the defensive sector, the coaching staff currently have options such as Erika, Thaís Ferreira, Letícia Teles, and Duda Mineira. Another option in the position, Thaís Regina, is also sidelined after suffering an ankle fracture during preseason.

Agustina was signed to fill the gap left by Mariza, who left Corinthians at the end of 2025. The defender is, in fact, in her second spell at the club. In 2017, still during the partnership period with Audax, she played in two matches and was part of the squad that won the Women’s Libertadores.

Without the defender available, Corinthians continue their season with a packed schedule. The team return to the field this Sunday (12), at 7 p.m. (Brasília time), against América of Mexico, in the third-place match of the Teal Rising Cup in the United States.

In addition to the international tournament, the Brabas still have commitments in the Brazilian Championship, the Paulista Championship, the Copa do Brasil, and the Women’s Libertadores throughout 2026.
