Corinthians issue fitness update on injured quartet | OneFootball

Meu Timao reports that Corinthians have issued a fitness update on four players, with forwards Kaio César and Yuri Alberto starting transition work.

Kaio has been out since the 3-0 win over Capivariano, after feeling thigh pain on five February. Yuri felt his thigh against São Bernardo on 15 February, in the final round of the Campeonato Paulista.

Midfielder Matheus Pereira trained on the pitch for the first time on Tuesday, though he remains in recovery from a grade 2 injury to the left biceps femoris. He sustained it in the 1-0 win at Athletico-PR’s Arena da Baixada.

Goalkeeper Felipe Longo continues treatment for a right elbow ligament strain suffered in training last week. In his absence, coach Dorival Júnior has been calling up 17-year-old Gustavo Milani.

The club are using an 11-day break without fixtures, following elimination from the Campeonato Paulista, to work players back from the medical department.

Left-back Hugo Farias has not yet joined the physiotherapy group and is still recovering after arthroscopy on his right knee, having injured the lateral meniscus.

Corinthians are also focusing on the physical preparation of Zakaria Labyad, who has not played since 2025. The hierarchy await the arrival of Jesse Lingard, with both on pathways to return to action.

In March, Corinthians have four matches, the next in eight days. They face Coritiba at 21:30 next Wednesday at the Neo Química Arena, in the fourth round of the Campeonato Brasileiro.
