Lingard gets visa, closes in on Corinthians registration | OneFootball

Attacking midfielder Jesse Lingard took another step in the registration process with Corinthians. The Englishman had his work visa published in the Official Gazette on Wednesday and is now closer to being officially registered by Timão.

Announced on March 6, Lingard has been training normally with his teammates, but has not yet been officially registered by Corinthians. The club was waiting for the work visa to continue the process of registering the player with the CBF.

Timão was in no rush with the process, since the FIFA international break was approaching, and Lingard was still regaining fitness, not yet in condition to make his debut, according to head coach Dorival Júnior.

Now, only bureaucratic details remain for Corinthians to complete the Englishman’s registration. After being properly registered, the midfielder still needs to have his name published in the CBF’s BID (Daily Information Bulletin).

If he is registered in time, Lingard will be available to the coaching staff for Corinthians’ next match.

Timão return to action in the ninth round of the Brazilian Championship next Wednesday (04/01), against Fluminense, at 9:30 p.m. Brasília time, at the Maracanã.

A free agent on the market, Lingard signed a contract with Corinthians until the end of the season, with the possibility of an automatic one-year renewal if he meets certain targets.
