Find out when Jesse Lingard is set to make his Corinthians debut | OneFootball

Announced by Corinthians in the first week of March, midfielder Jesse Lingard is still unable to debut for Corinthians. This is because the player has not yet been registered in the CBF's Daily Information Bulletin (BID), which operates only from Monday to Friday until 7 pm (Brasília time). Therefore, he will not be available for this Sunday's match (22nd) against Flamengo at the Neo Química Arena, for the eighth round of the Brasileirão.

Central do Timão has learned that if all the bureaucratic issues involving his documentation are resolved, followed by planning with the club's physiology department, the player is expected to make his first appearance in a Corinthians jersey on the next April 1st, Wednesday, at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), against Fluminense at Maracanã, for the ninth round of the Brasileirão.

According to journalist Bianca Molina from Canal Goat, one of the aspects hindering Jesse Lingard's regularization is the lack of documents that the athlete did not bring from the United Kingdom. His work visa, therefore, has not yet been published in the Official Gazette of the Union. As a result, the Englishman had to request these documents, which are in Brasília awaiting final procedures, so that his CPF can be issued.

The Central do Timão report also found that Jesse Lingard has been standing out in the training sessions of the team led by Dorival Júnior and is enthusiastic about experiencing the daily life of the club at Parque São Jorge. The English midfielder was signed by Corinthians after being a free agent following his departure from FC Seoul, South Korea, where he scored 19 goals and provided 11 assists in 67 games.

It's worth noting that for 2026, Corinthians signed the following players in addition to Jesse Lingard: defender Gabriel Paulista, right-back Pedro Milans, midfielder Allan, midfielder Matheus Pereira, midfielder Zakaria Labyad, and forward Kaio César. All of these came without transfer costs or on loan, following the club's recruitment policy, which is facing financial problems.

Lingard was developed by Manchester United and had his most notable period between 2015 and 2020. In the 2015/16 season, he played alongside Dutchman Memphis Depay in 22 matches.

His last appearance for the national team was in 2021.

At 33 years old, the attacking midfielder spent two seasons in South Korean football. Recently, he was also speculated as a target for Remo, which competes in the Brazilian Championship Serie A, but negotiations with the club from Pará did not progress. In his last season for Seoul FC, Jesse Lingard played in 41 matches, scoring 13 goals and providing seven assists. Throughout his career, he has accumulated 385 games, 77 goals scored, and 45 assists, totaling 122 goal contributions.
