Félix Torres out for nearly two months at Corinthians | OneFootball

The situation of the Ecuadorian Félix Torres is very complicated. After arriving in 2024 as the main defensive reinforcement for Corinthians, the 28-year-old defender quickly lost his place and, in 2025, became the last option for Timão's defense. Thus, he has been almost two months without playing for Timão, due to a technical decision by coach Dorival Júnior.

The last time Félix Torres played for Corinthians was on August 27, when he came on in the second half of Timão's victory over Athletico-PR in Curitiba, during the Copa do Brasil. Additionally, the Ecuadorian was only brought into the match due to an injury to Matheuzinho, the right-back of the Alvinegro who does not have an immediate substitute in the squad.

Due to poor performances in the first half of the year, Félix Torres can now be considered the fifth and last option in Corinthians' defense. Currently, Dorival Júnior has opted to start Gustavo Henrique and João Pedro Tchoca, while Cacá and André Ramalho also play frequently, but as substitutes.

Poor first half

Félix Torres was given some chances as a starter at the beginning of the Paulistão, then under coach Ramón Díaz. The Ecuadorian did not make any major mistakes until the final of the Campeonato Paulista, when he committed a penalty and was sent off in the return match, which almost jeopardized Corinthians' title against Palmeiras.

Moreover, shortly after, Félix was sent off with a direct red card in the first half against Racing-URU, in a crucial match for the Copa Sudamericana. These two episodes greatly strained the Ecuadorian's relationship with the fans.

This season, Félix Torres has played 27 times for Corinthians, scoring one goal. He was signed from Santos Laguna-MEX, which negotiated 80% of the player's economic rights for 6.5 million dollars. Currently, the defender is with the Ecuadorian national team for the October FIFA date.
