Bidu’s fatigue opens door for Angileri’s return debut for Corinthians | OneFootball

The Corinthians might have a new addition on the left-back for this Wednesday's game against Cruzeiro, in the fourth round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. This could be Fabrizio Angileri, who may get his first chance in 2026 due to the fatigue shown by Matheus Bidu.

Bidu, the starter in this position, has played the last eight matches for Corinthians this season, starting in seven of them. He has become the only option for the left side of the defense since Hugo's injury, which required knee surgery.

Therefore, it's possible that coach Dorival Júnior will give the player a rest in the match against Cruzeiro. If that happens, Angileri is likely to make his re-debut for the club.

The Argentine renewed his contract with Corinthians on February 11, but he has been undergoing a physical reconditioning process. He was listed for the match against Portuguesa last Sunday but did not leave the bench.

Fabrizio Angileri has not played for over two months. His last match was the final of the Copa do Brasil last year, on December 21, against Vasco.

Dorival kept things under wraps in the last Timão training session before the match against Raposa and hid the probable team lineup. The game is scheduled for this Wednesday at 8 PM (Brasília time) at Mineirão.

Corinthians is coming off two consecutive victories in the Brasileirão and is in fifth place on the table, with six points. Additionally, Dorival Júnior's team is buoyed by their penalty shootout win against Portuguesa in the semifinals of the Campeonato Paulista last Sunday.
