Corinthians faces a scenario troubled on the eve of the classic against San Paolo, scheduled for Saturday (19), at 21h (Brasilia Time), in Morumbis. Despite the 1-0 victory against Ceará Wednesday (16), the club returns to the center of attention for two distinct reasons: the medical concern with Maycon and the growing dissatisfaction of the crowd with part of the cast.
Revealed by the basic categories of Corinthians and passing through European football, Maycon has returned to the club in 2022, but since then he has lived with constant physical problems. The most serious of these was the breakdown of the anterior cruciate ligament of the right knee, suffered in April 2024, which removed it from the meadows for ten months. The anniversary of muscle injuries also marks his recent trajectory, having been out of 94 games from his return.

In the last game, the steering wheel entered during the second half, but left the field only 17 minutes later when he felt the back of the right thigh again. If the problem is confirmed by the exams, it should remove the team in the majestic. The situation rekindled the notice in the Club’s medical department, which already deals with the absence of Yuri Alberto and saw the young Gui Negão take control of the last game.
At the same time, coach Dorival Júnior admitted to a press conference that he suggested taking at least four reinforcements by entering in office, but he came across political obstacles in the club. The recent change in the presidency, with the departure of Augusto Melo, has directly influenced the negotiations in the ball market. The coach indicated that the Board of Directors tries to resume the negotiations interrupted during the transition of the command.
“I have to pass the fan safe and clarify these facts. Young people need maturity. We know that Corinthians need more names. The most important thing is to focus on who is here now. I have to be faithful to the fan. We are working to look for solutions internally.”
Among the internal instability, Alvinegra fans have used social networks to indicate names that, in their opinion, should be negotiated. Romero, Héctor Hernández, Hugo and Maycon himself were mentioned in post -critical posts to the current composition of the cast.
With the victory over Ceará, Timão reached 19 points and took the ninth place in the Brazilian championship. However, the field performance and the instability of the extra field maintain the tense environment. The classic against San Paolo, therefore, obtains decisive contours not only for the rivalry, but also as the thermometer for the moment of the club.
