Line-up: Corinthians welcome back Yuri Alberto against Chapecoense | OneFootball

Corinthians trained on Wednesday morning and wrapped up preparations for the match against Chapecoense, for the seventh round of the Brazilian Championship. Striker Yuri Alberto trained normally at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava and is available to coach Dorival Júnior.

The number 9 has not played for about four weeks. He had been recovering from a grade 2 muscle injury in the biceps femoris of his left thigh.

Dorival Júnior is expected to make changes to the starting lineup due to the sequence of matches. The absences are young goalkeeper Felipe Longo (right elbow ligament strain), left-back Hugo (right knee surgery), and English attacking midfielder Jesse Lingard (awaiting work documentation).

Probable Corinthians lineup

The probable Corinthians lineup is: Hugo Souza; Matheuzinho (Pedro Milans), André Ramalho, João Pedro Tchoca and Angileri; Allan, Matheus Pereira, Breno Bidon and Rodrigo Garro; Kaio César (Vitinho) and Yuri Alberto.

Training details

The alvinegro squad started the day by watching a video with tactical instructions in the briefing room. The players also did a physical workout in the gym before heading to the pitch, where coach Dorival Júnior led two tactical sessions. The players also practiced set-piece plays.
