Yuri Alberto reaches 50 days without playing for Corinthians | OneFootball

On Friday, Yuri Alberto reached 50 days without playing for Corinthians after suffering injury on 30 July against Athletico Paranaense, and he remains under medical supervision.

He came on at half-time for Dieguinho in that match and, after 33 minutes, sustained a grade 2 injury to the back of his right thigh. According to Meu Timao, he is expected to return after the FIFA international window, which begins next week.

In his absence, Fernando Diniz has turned to other options through the middle, but Corinthians have scored only 10 goals in 12 games. Despite nearly two months out, the number nine remains the club’s top scorer in 2026 with eight in 33 appearances.

The next names on the list are defender Gustavo Henrique with six, and midfielders André Luiz with five and Breno Bidon with four. A forward reappears in fifth, Kaio César on three, level with Raniele, Matheus Bidu and Rodrigo Garro.

Corinthians also suffered two eliminations without their leading marksman. They were knocked out by Internacional in the Copa do Brasil last 16 in the first two games after his injury, then exited the Libertadores on Wednesday to Estudiantes.

He will not be available to face Fluminense on Sunday, with the match set for 16:00 at Neo Química Arena in the 28th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro.
