Yuri Alberto injured: thigh problem confirmed at Corinthians | OneFootball

The forward Yuri Alberto has become a concern for the medical department of Corinthians. This Monday, the club confirmed in an official statement that the number 9 suffered a left thigh biceps femoris injury.

The player underwent an MRI earlier, which confirmed the injury. The club identified a grade 2 injury, but did not disclose a possible recovery timeline, only stating that the striker has already started treatment with physiotherapists.

Coach Dorival Júnior had already expressed concern about the striker's situation in a press conference last Sunday, after the 1-0 victory over São Bernardo, in the last round of the Paulista.

“Unfortunately, we are losing Yuri at another important moment of a competition. That's why I have been frequently talking about having a squad with more options,” he lamented.

The moment of the injury

Yuri started on the bench and was brought in by the coaching staff at the 17th minute of the first half. However, the forward sprinted at the 44th minute and, almost immediately, placed his hand on the back of his left thigh. His teammates then signaled the need for a substitution.

The Corinthians striker left the field on a stretcher and, upon reaching the bench, was assisted by club professionals and directed to the stadium's locker rooms in São Bernardo do Campo (SP).
