On the decline

Hugo was considered the third backup to Matheus Bidu at Corinthians’ left-back position. After Angileri’s contract was not renewed, Hugo returned to the role of immediate substitute and earned a new chance as a starter against Capivariano. 

Now injured, Hugo will be sidelined for a few matches at Corinthians. In addition, Timão has agreed to the return of Fabrizio Angileri, who is expected to be announced again in the coming days. Thus, Hugo once again faces a tough situation within the squad. 

In 2026, Hugo played three matches for Corinthians. In total, since joining Timão in 2024, the left-back has played 74 games and provided six assists.
