Hugo Souza returns from injury: "I love this shirt" | OneFootball

Goalkeeper Hugo Souza may return to defend Corinthians in the game against Grêmio this Sunday, in the 31st round of the Brazilian Championship. Recovered from a shoulder dislocation, the player trained normally this Saturday and is available to coach Dorival Júnior.

An absolute starter, the goalkeeper missed the match against Vitória last week due to the physical issue. He celebrated his return to the field in an interview with Corinthians TV.

“I am very happy to be back. Thanks to God and the medical department, who did an incredible job, I returned earlier than expected. This is the result of hard work and dedication,” said Hugo Souza.

“I want to help the team achieve the third consecutive victory. We need this sequence to aim for big things in the championship. I hope to continue helping as always. I love being on the field, I love wearing this jersey. That's how I will face another game,” he added.

More returns

Hugo Souza will not be the only reinforcement for Corinthians to face Grêmio. Midfielder Maycon and right-back Matheuzinho, who served a suspension in the last round, are also back.

On the other hand, midfielders Raniele and José Martínez, suspended, as well as Breno Bidon, sent off against Vitória, will be absent for Timão. The injured Vitinho and André Luiz complete the list of absences.
