Corinthians confirm muscle injury for Yuri Alberto | OneFootball

Corinthians returned to training on the afternoon of this Monday (16) after the victory against São Bernardo by 1 x 0 and released the results of the imaging exams of forward Yuri Alberto, who left the field on a stretcher and in tears after feeling pain in the back of his left thigh.

Timão announced that the exams detected a grade 2 muscle injury in the biceps femoris of the left thigh, and the forward is now under the care of the club's medical and physiotherapy department. Yuri had suffered a more serious injury in the middle of the 2025 season when he had an Inguinal Hernia problem. At the end of the year, Yuri Alberto also had a muscle problem in his groin but returned quickly after just 13 days of recovery.

According to research conducted, the average recovery time for this type of grade 2 injury is between four to eight weeks for the athlete to resume training and subsequently return to the field. Yuri Alberto recently became known for his quick recovery ability from injuries, affectionately nicknamed by fans as the “Wolverine of the Faithful.”

During this period, coach Dorival Jr will have to choose between Gui Negão, Pedro Raul, Vitinho, and Kayke to pair up in attack alongside Memphis Depay, considering the current scheme used by the coach when fielding the main team. In the meantime, Timão will face the decisive phases of the 2026 Paulista Championship and some rounds of the Brasileirão.
