Garro and Yuri Alberto to return for Copa do Brasil semi-final? | OneFootball

Corinthians still does not know if it will be able to count on Yuri Alberto and Rodrigo Garro for the first leg of the Copa do Brasil semifinal against Cruzeiro. Both are recovering from their respective injuries and will have little time to prepare for the match, scheduled for this Wednesday at Mineirão.

Yuri Alberto is treating edema in the pubic symphysis and an overload of the adductor muscles. Garro, on the other hand, suffered a muscle strain in the soleus. According to information gathered by Gazeta Esportiva, the Argentine is further along in his recovery.

Garro has already worked on the pitch at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava. The midfielder has a better chance of playing against Cruzeiro at Mineirão. The coaching staff, however, is being cautious with the recovery of both players and does not guarantee the presence of either at Mineirão.

“We are making progress with Garro’s work, trying to get him fit. The same goes for Yuri, to see if we’ll have them for Wednesday’s game,” said coach Dorival Júnior at a press conference.

While recovering from their respective injuries, Rodrigo Garro and Yuri Alberto missed the matches against Fortaleza and Juventude. Both are being prepared for the Copa do Brasil semifinal matches.

And what about Memphis?

Memphis Depay, meanwhile, is in a different situation. The Dutchman has recovered from bone edema in his left knee and was brought on by Dorival Júnior in the second half of the draw against Juventude, in the last round of the Brazilian Championship.

The tendency, therefore, is that the number 10 will be on the field in the first match against Cruzeiro. Dorival, however, left open the possibility of the striker being in the starting lineup.

“We are aligning each situation, we talk with all the club’s departments. We put all the players on the field so they could be active. Cruzeiro itself did the same today, changing its team 100%. Starting tomorrow, we will evaluate all the conditions and what we will have on the field on Wednesday,” said the coach.
