São Paulo's new keeper to play again after six months on the sidelines | OneFootball

Signed at the start of the year, goalkeeper Carlos Coronel sees the wait come to an end and will finally get his first opportunity as São Paulo’s starter this Tuesday (28), in the match against Millonarios in the Copa Sudamericana.

The shot-stopper, who arrived at MorumBIS in January, had not played an official match since October 4, 2025, when he featured for the New York Red Bulls against FC Cincinnati in MLS.

Coronel’s inclusion in the lineup ends a spell of inactivity and puts the player’s match fitness to the test, after he had been a key figure in the U.S. before moving to Brazil.

In his last season with the New York club — the fifth of his career in the American league — the goalkeeper showed great consistency by making 33 appearances.

Now, he takes over in goal for the Tricolor in a decisive continental competition setting, looking to cement his place in the starting lineup.
