Hugo Souza back in Corinthians training after muscle pain scare | OneFootball

On the morning of this Thursday (23), with Central do Timão present at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava, Corinthians held a training session open to the press with an eye on the match against Vasco next Sunday (26), at 4 p.m. (Brasília time), at Neo Química Arena, for the 13th round of the 2026 Brazilian Championship.

Goalkeeper Hugo Souza, who was absent from the match against Barra-SC in the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil last Tuesday (21) due to muscle pain, took part in the activity normally, but remains a doubt for the clash against the Rio team – check out the video recorded by the Central do Timão reporters at the end of the article.

In addition, Corinthians also updated the status of four players. For the match against the Santa Catarina side, Kauê Camargo, Felipe Longo and Pietro Grecco were called up. Midfielder André Luiz remains out due to flu symptoms. Besides Hugo Souza and André, the following are in the medical department: center-back João Pedro Tchoca (pubalgia), left-back Hugo Farias (recovering from knee surgery), right-back João Vitor ‘Jacaré’ (strained left hamstring), midfielder Charles (right heel injury), attacking midfielder Gui Amorim (grade 2 knee injury), as well as forwards Gui Negão and Memphis Depay, both recovering from a grade 2 muscle injury in the front of the right thigh.

Signed in July 2024, initially on loan from Flamengo after standing out in Portuguese football with Chaves, Hugo Souza quickly became one of Corinthians’ leaders on and off the pitch. He was part of the team’s historic surge in the 2024 Brasileirão (from the relegation zone to the Libertadores preliminary rounds), in addition to winning the Campeonato Paulista (2025), Copa do Brasil (2025) and Supercopa do Brasil (2026). Altogether, he has made 113 appearances in a Corinthians shirt, all as a starter, with 53 wins, 33 draws and 27 defeats – a 56.64% success rate.
