- By Fabio Luigi / Central do Timão Editorial

Next Sunday (12), at 4pm (Brasília time), Corinthians visits FC Cascavel, from Paraná, at the Estádio Olímpico Regional Jacy Miguel Scanagatta, in an interseason friendly match. According to Meu Timão, defender Gustavo Henrique should be absent from the match due to discomfort and should not be with the Corinthians delegation on the trip.

According to information from ge.globo, the defender has not been participating in recent training sessions with the group at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava and, in recent days, has been training inside the training center due to pain in the hip flexor region. Antes do duelo preparatório, o Timão fará atividades nesta quinta, sexta e sábado.

Na atual temporada, Gustavo Henrique vem sendo um dos principais jogadores do Corinthians. He is the third player in the current squad with the most goals scored this season, with four, behind only striker Yuri Alberto (six) and midfielder André Luiz five). O zagueiro participou de 30 dos 37 jogos do time em 2026.

In this way, if he cannot count on Gustavo Henrique, coach Fernando Diniz has the following options for the sector: Gabriel Paulista, André Ramalho and João Pedro Tchoca. Este último não atua desde meados de março, já que teve uma lesão na hérnia inguinal, tendo que passar por um procedimento cirúrgico. O camisa 4, nas últimas semana, está treinando normalmente com os demais companheiros e está disponível para retornar aos gramados.

Officially, Alvinegro will return to action on July 23rd, at 7:30 pm (Brasília time), in Itaquera, to close the first round of the Brazilian Championship. Currently, Corinthians is in tenth place in the national tournament with 24 points - six wins, six draws and six defeats - 18 goals scored and 19 conceded.

Hired at the beginning of 2024 after spells at Fenerbahçe, in Türkiye, and Real Valladolid, in Spain, Gustavo Henrique became a fundamental player at Corinthians in a short time. The number 13 took part in Timão's run in Brasileirão 2024 (from Z4 to Pré-Libertadores - seventh place with 56 points), in addition to being a starter in winning the Campeonato Paulista (2025), Copa do Brasil (2025) and Supercopa do Brasil (2026), against Palmeiras, Vasco da Gama and Flamengo, respectively. Com a camisa corinthiana, são 10 gols e quatro assistências em 105 jogos. Your contract ends in December 2027.
