Yuri suffers thigh twinge as Corinthians face fresh concern | OneFootball

Yuri is a fresh concern for Corinthians after the 0-0 draw with Athletico Paranaense, according to Meu Timao.

In the first half, Zakaria Labyad twisted his left knee and could not continue. He was carried off on a stretcher in tears.

Yuri Alberto came on at half-time for Dieguinho but lasted only 30 minutes. During an attacking move he felt a twinge in the back of his right thigh, requested an immediate change and left on a stretcher in tears. Rodrigo Garro replaced him for Fernando Diniz’s side.

The 25-year-old had a grade 2 biceps femoris injury in February, sustained in a 1-0 win over São Bernardo in the Paulistão, which kept him out for a month. He is Corinthians’ leading scorer in 2026 with eight goals in 33 matches. Against the Paraná side he had two efforts on target, both saved by Santos.

If Yuri is sidelined, Diniz could be without another forward, with Kayke and Vitinho already absent after knee surgery. The draw kept Corinthians ninth on 29 points. They visit Internacional on Sunday at 19:30 at Beira-Rio in the Copa do Brasil last-16 first leg.
