Yuri Alberto subbed on, then off injured in Corinthians win | OneFootball

The forward Yuri Alberto may be a new concern for the medical department of Corinthians. On Sunday night, the number 9 was brought on in the second half but had to leave the field before the final whistle in Timão's 1-0 victory over São Bernardo at the Estádio Primeiro de Maio, in the last round of the Paulistão.

Yuri started on the bench and was called 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 for a substitution.

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

Yuri will be re-evaluated by the Corinthians medical department in the coming days. Timão is expected to return to training this Monday, as they have a commitment in the Brazilian Championship midweek.

The number 9 is an undisputed starter for Corinthians and has contributed with three goals in eight matches this season.
