Corinthians U20 keeper joins first team for Brasileirão clash | OneFootball

On Wednesday night (11th), at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), Corinthians faces Coritiba at the Neo Química Arena, in a match valid for the fifth round of the 2026 Brazilian Championship. The Alvinegro currently occupies third place in the national competition with seven points – two wins, one draw, and one loss – five goals scored and three conceded.

For the match, goalkeeper Matheus Corrêa (2006), 20 years old, will be among those listed. The information was initially released by Rádio TMC. The young player was selected for the match along with Hugo Souza and Kauê Camargo. It’s worth noting that Felipe Longo is still recovering from an elbow injury and remains in the medical department. In the matches against Cruzeiro and Novorizontino, for the Brasileirão and Campeonato Paulista, Gustavo Milani, 16 years old, had been the third goalkeeper.

However, there is a possibility that the goalkeeper may be cut from the bench, since only two goalkeepers will be in the squad for the match. Matheus Corrêa has been at Parque São Jorge since 2015, when he was nine years old. Since then, he has accumulated call-ups for Brazil’s youth national teams – South American Championship and U-17 World Cup.

In 2023, while playing for the U-17 category, he was decisive in winning the Paulista Championship for the category, against São Paulo, at the Alfredo Schürig Stadium, Fazendinha. In the state semifinals, he played a key role in the penalty shootout against Red Bull Bragantino. In 2026, he was the starting goalkeeper in the Copinha campaign and is undisputed in the U-20 category – 19 wins, seven draws, and six losses. He recently renewed his contract until December 2028.
