Corinthians provide fitness updates on injured quartet during 11-day break | OneFootball

Corinthians have issued an update on four injured players, with Kaio César and Yuri Alberto beginning physical transition work.

According to Meu Timao, Kaio has been out since the 3-0 win over Capivariano on 5 February after a thigh problem, while Yuri felt his thigh in the São Bernardo match on 15 February, the final round of the Paulistão.

Matheus Pereira trained on the grass for the first time on Tuesday, but he remains in recovery from a grade 2 injury to the left biceps femoris, sustained in the 1-0 victory at Athletico-PR at Arena da Baixada.

Goalkeeper Felipe Longo continues treatment for a right elbow ligament strain picked up in training last week. With him unavailable, coach Dorival Júnior has called up 17-year-old Gustavo Milani.

The club are seeking to free up the medical room during an 11-day spell without games following their exit from the Campeonato Paulista.

Left-back Hugo Farias has not yet joined the physiotherapy group and is still recovering after arthroscopy on his right knee. He suffered a lateral meniscus injury in the same leg.

Corinthians are also working on the conditioning of midfielder Zakaria Labyad, who has not played since 2025. The board await the arrival of Jesse Lingard, with both on programmes to return to action.

The club are slated to play four matches in March. The next is in eight days, against Coritiba on Wednesday at 21:30 at Neo Química Arena, in the fourth round of the Campeonato Brasileiro.
