Corinthians midfielder called up to Peru national team | OneFootball

Early Monday afternoon (16th), Corinthians midfielder André Carrillo was called up by the Peruvian National Team for the first FIFA Date of the year, which will take place at the end of March. The Peruvians, led by coach Mano Menezes, will face Senegal on March 29, at 1:00 PM (Brasília time), at the Stade de France in Paris, France, and two days later, will take on Honduras in Leganés, Spain.

Thus, André Carrillo may be absent for Corinthians in the match against Fluminense at Maracanã Stadium, which is expected to take place on April 1, for the eighth round of the Brazilian Championship. The Brazilian Football Confederation has not yet released details, such as dates and times, for the eighth round and beyond of the competition.

It’s worth noting that the Peruvian National Team did not manage to secure a spot for the 2026 World Cup, as they finished second to last in the South American Qualifiers for the world’s most important national team tournament. Mano Menezes, who has already had three stints at Corinthians (2008-2010/2014/2023-2024), will be responsible for leading the team towards the 2028 Copa América and the 2030 World Cup cycle.

André Carrillo was signed by Corinthians during the mid-2024 transfer window and, from then on, became one of the pillars of the team. In his first months at the club, he took part in the team’s surge in the Brasileirão (from the relegation zone to the 2025 Pre-Libertadores), and was also part of the titles won in the Campeonato Paulista (2025), Copa do Brasil (2025), and the Supercopa do Brasil, against Palmeiras, Vasco da Gama, and Flamengo, respectively.

Wearing the Corinthians shirt, he has three goals and five assists in 83 games (55 as a starter). In total, there are 43 wins, 19 draws, and 21 losses – a 59.4% success rate.
