Corinthians reveal injuries to Yuri Alberto and Garro, latest on Memphis 👀 | OneFootball

Corinthians continues to struggle with injuries in the 2025 season. The trio formed by Garro, Memphis Depay, and Yuri Alberto has been a constant absence throughout the year and is confirmed to be out for the match against Fortaleza, valid for the 37th round of the Brazilian Championship. The match will take place at Castelão this Wednesday, starting at 7:00 PM (Brasília time).

According to information from the club, midfielder Rodrigo Garro and forward Yuri Alberto, who did not travel with the rest of the squad to the capital of Ceará, have had their injuries confirmed.

While the Argentine midfielder suffered a soleus muscle strain (calf), Corinthians' top scorer — who left the match against Botafogo with groin pain — underwent an MRI, and the report showed a pubic symphysis edema (the joint that connects the two pubic bones of the pelvis) and overload of the adductor muscles. Garro and Yuri remained in São Paulo and have already started physiotherapy.

And what about Memphis?

Despite having made progress in recovering from a bone edema in his left knee, the Dutchman is not expected to return in this Brazilian Championship. Last Tuesday, Memphis posted a photo training, but due to Dorival's plans to prioritize the players' fitness for the Copa do Brasil, Depay will not play against Fortaleza and is also unlikely to feature in the match against Juventude.

On the other hand, Corinthians' coaching staff believes that Memphis will be fit to play for the Copa do Brasil. The Alvinegro will face Cruzeiro in the semifinal, with the first leg scheduled for next Wednesday at 9:30 PM at Mineirão.

The number 10, sidelined since November 20, has ten goals and ten assists in 46 matches for Corinthians this season.

And who plays?

Because of the semifinal against Cruzeiro, Dorival is expected to rest some players. Thus, a probable lineup is: Hugo Souza; João Pedro Tchoca (André Ramalho), Gustavo Henrique and Raniele; José Martínez, Maycon, Breno Bidon, Vitinho and Matheus Bidu; Dieguinho and Gui Negão.

Corinthians' next match

Situation in the standings

Coming off a draw with Botafogo, Corinthians no longer has major ambitions in the Brasileirão. However, the team is trying to finish in eighth place to have a chance of securing a spot in the 2026 Libertadores in case of failure in the Copa do Brasil. Timão is in ninth place in the standings, with 46 points, two fewer than eighth-placed São Paulo.
