Why Talles Magno was left out of Corinthians matchday squad | OneFootball

The victory of Corinthians over Mirassol this Saturday, at Neo Química Arena, for the Brazilian Championship, had one absence: Talles Magno. An important player in the squad, the forward was cut from the match and didn’t even appear among those listed.

After the game, in a press conference, Dorival Júnior’s assistant and son, Lucas Silvestre, explained the decision. He said that Talles felt the impact of a series of poor performances and needed some time to “cool his head.”

Lucas, however, dismissed the idea that the player is out of the plans and assured that, soon, he will be “back”.

“Talles, after his last few matches, felt it a bit. His training level wasn’t the same this week, he needed to clear his head a little,” justified the assistant.

“He’ll be back soon, we care a lot about him, everyone in the group likes him. I’m sure that soon he’ll recover. It was just a situation for this game, so he could have a breather. He’ll be back soon,” he concluded.

Unlikely to Stay

In a bad phase, forward Talles Magno has modest numbers for Corinthians in 2025. In total, in 45 matches, only 18 as a starter, he has six goals and four assists.

The 23-year-old started the year on a high, showing promise during the Paulistão. However, his performance declined over the season and he ended up losing space even to academy youngsters like Gui Negão, Kayke, and Dieguinho.

Talles is on loan to Corinthians from New York City, USA, until the end of this year. If the forward does not improve his performance, the tendency is that the club will not exercise the purchase option and will let the player go with an eye on 2026.

Standings Situation

With the win, Corinthians moves away from the relegation zone and jumps to tenth place in the Brasileirão table, with 33 points. In total, they have eight wins, nine draws, and ten losses.
