Guzman Corujo Briccola - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Missed most of year via injury Corujo was only able to start five matches in six appearances, missing most of the season with a quadriceps and knee injury.

Impact Corujo was coming back from a torn ACL, making his first appearance in May. He made five starts before tearing his quad, ruling him out for the remainder of the season. The future is up in the air for the defender as he is set to be out of contract after the 2024 campaign.

Featured on bench Corujo (quadriceps) was featured on the bench during Thursday's 0-0 Leagues Cup win over Cruz Azul.

Impact Corujo returned quicker than expected as he was an unused substitute during Thursday's Leagues Cup win. He may not shift into the starting XI right away as he continues to deal with injury woes this season.

Torn quad confirmed Corujo will miss "some weeks" after tearing a muscle in his quadriceps last weekend, Charlotte manager Christian Lattanzio told team reporter Will Palaszczuk on Thursday.

Impact Corujo had started five consecutive games for Charlotte since returning from a torn ACL, but he's now likely to miss the entirety of the Leagues Cup with this quad injury he suffered against Montreal last weekend. With Adilson Malanda (foot) also out, Bill Tuiloma could return to central defense alongside Jan Sobocinski or Derrick Jones (thigh).

Exits injured in defeat Corujo had two tackles (one won), four clearances and one interception in Saturday's 2-0 loss against CF Montreal. He was injured and subbed out in the 37th minute.

Impact Corujo was active while on the pitch but he also already had two goals allowed when got injured. The team's next match is in more than a month time and he should be back by then unless diagnosed with a serious injury.

Holds first clean sheet of season Corujo recorded two shots (zero on goal) in Saturday's 0-0 draw against CF Montreal.

Impact Corujo also added two interceptions, three aerials won and four clearances on the defensive side of the ball to help for his first clean sheet this season in just his second start after missing nearly a year with a major injury. His early substitution didn't seem to be due to injury and he's probably still on minute-count as part of his recovery.

Takes shot in season debut Corujo subbed into Wednesday's match against the Union in the 60th minute, making a block, a clearance, taking a shot and winning two of two tackles in the 1-0 defeat.

Impact Corujo made his first appearance in almost 10 months Wednesday after tearing his ACL last August. He had started all 24 of Charlotte's league matches in central defense last season prior to his injury, and should once again challenge for a spot in the XI once he's back up to full fitness.

Will start on bench Corujo is on the bench for Saturday's match against the Los Angeles Galaxy

Impact Corujo could make his season debut Saturday as he starts on the bench for the first time this year. It took him about nine months to recover from an ACL tear, making 25 starts in 2022 with a goal, 108 clearances and 44 tackles (26 won). It will take him a few games to become an option to start in the back as he would need to return to full match form first.

Features for reserve team Corujo (knee) started and played about an hour of Crown Legacy FC's win over the Union II in MLS NEXT Pro on Wednesday.

Impact Corujo played his first minutes with Charlotte's reserve team Wednesday since suffering a torn ACL last August. The 26-year-old center-back will continue working his way back up to full fitness and will aim to be available for the senior side soon.

MAY 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Upgraded to questionable Corujo has been training with Charlotte FC and is listed as questionable in the injury report to face Nashville SC this weekend.

Impact Corujo has not played since tearing his ACL last August, but he is making clear progress with his recovery as evidenced by the upgrade in his injury designation. He's unlikely to be ready to feature just yet, but he could challenge Bill Tuiloma and Adilson Malanda for a spot in the XI at center-back once he's back up to full fitness, as he had started all 24 of Charlotte's league matches last season prior to his injury.

MAY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Continuing recovery Corujo (knee) is not training with Charlotte yet but he is with the team for their preseason camp in Florida, manager Christian Lattanzio said Monday.

Impact Corujo has been out since tearing his ACL in August and he is likely to at least miss the beginning of the 2023 campaign as well, though Lattanzio noted that "he's recovering quicker than initially thought." Anton Walkes and Adilson Malanda will likely begin the season as Charlotte's starting center-back pairing, with Jan Sobocinski the backup option until Corujo is fit again.

JANUARY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out for season Corujo will miss the rest of the season after suffering a torn ACL, his club announced Friday.

Impact Corujo suffered the injury during Saturday's loss to Chicago and with the initial prognosis suggesting a serious injury, the outcome has been confirmed. This injury often takes between six and nine months to recover from, so Corujo could easily be out until the start of next season and during as well. Joseph Mora is likely to take his spot in the XI with Christian Fuchs sliding over to central defense, with Jan Sobocinski another option at center-back.

AUGUST 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers knee injury Corujo suffered a suspected knee injury during Saturday's 3-2 loss to Chicago, according to manager Christian Lattanzio. "I spoke to our medical department it doesn't look good."

Impact Corujo still awaits his official diagnosis, but the odds don't seem great at the moment. He's started in all 25 of his appearances this season and Joseph Mora replaced him after 31 minutes of Saturday's game.

Plays first half in friendly Corujo (undisclosed) started and played 45 minutes in Wednesday's club friendly match against Chelsea.

Impact Corujo looked like he picked up an injury in last weekend's loss to Miami, but he was fit enough to feature for an entire half on Wednesday. He should be available for selection in Saturday's MLS clash against Toronto, but Christian Makoun could line up in central defense if Corujo isn't quite fit enough to start.

JULY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Comes off injured against Miami Corujo was subbed out of Saturday's defeat against Inter Miami in the 83rd minute after suffering an injury.

Impact Corujo picked up a thigh injury in last weekend's loss to Nashville, but he was fit enough to return to the starting lineup on Sunday before getting injured once again late on. Christian Makoun replaced him in central defense in both of the games.

Starting against Miami Corujo (thigh) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash with Miami.

Impact Corujo is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash with Miami as expected after picking up a minor thigh injury earlier in the week. The defender will hope to play the full 90 after coming off at halftime against Nashville when he picked up the injury.

Impact Corujo will be questionable for Saturday's game. Christian Makoun replaced him in central defense last weekend, but Christian Fuchs and even Jan Sobocinski (illness) are potential options against Miami as well.

JULY 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Goal in loss Corujo scored one goal on one shot (one on goal) during Saturday's 2-1 loss to Montreal.

Impact Corujo responded quickly to Montreal's early goal scoring a solo goal in the ninth minute to tie the game up. The defender has been a viable starter for Charlotte recording 17 starts in 17 appearances. With 34 interceptions and his successful opportunities on offense, Corujo is likely to remain a key part of the starting XI for the remainder of the 2022 season.

JUNE 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Three interceptions against New England Corujo made three interceptions in a 3-1 win against New England Revolution on Saturday.

Impact Corujo had a good day for the winning team. The 25-year-old made three interceptions, most by any player in the match. Other than that, Corujo also made seven clearances, the second-most in the match.
