Corinthians Under-20 striker diagnosed with shoulder dislocation | OneFootball

On the night of last Monday (2), Corinthians defeated Grêmio away from home, 3-1, in a match valid for the third round of the first phase of the Brasileirão Under-20. The result put the team in second place in the tournament with seven points.

Despite the three points, the team led by William Batista suffered a setback for the remainder of the season. Forward Luiz Fernando, who scored one of Timãozinho's goals in the match, was diagnosed with a dislocated right shoulder and will begin treatment with the club’s youth physiotherapy staff.

The incident that caused the injury to Timãozinho’s number 11 happened halfway through the second half, when he received the ball on the right wing, got past two defenders, and was brought down in midfield. As he fell, he landed on his shoulder and was unable to continue on the field.

As a result, right-back/winger Guilherme Pellegrin was called from the bench. It’s worth noting that Luizinho is the top scorer for Corinthians’ Under-20 team in 2026, with five goals in seven games. The youngster has already participated in training sessions with the professional squad and has a contract until December 2027.

The “Sons of Terrão” will now have a long preparation period until their next match. The team will return to the field only in April, when they face Fortaleza at Parque São Jorge, for the fourth round of the Brasileirão Under-20.
