The knee: Guilherme Caraguá out for 24 days
24 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Corinthians lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Corinthians tear Bahia apart
Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 3‑0 against Bahia, and it could have been more.

Words exchanged at Corinthians
Yuri Alberto and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

The step up is real for Bahia
At 20 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

One of their own: Kaio César
He is 22 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Gustavo Henrique falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Kaio César was on a different afternoon to everybody else
8.24. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

One of those days for Rodrigo Garro
There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.00, and no argument anywhere in the ground.
The dugout19 Oct 2026
The manager makes an example of Dória
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
