Still without Yuri Alberto, Corinthians attack remains toothless | OneFootball

Without Yuri Alberto, injured since February, Corinthians' attack remains unproductive. Reaching the fifth consecutive game of absence, Timão scored only three goals during this period, with just one by an offensive player.

Top scorer for Corinthians this season, with three goals in nine games, Yuri Alberto is the main reference for Timão. Since joining the team at Parque São Jorge in 2022, the forward has experienced ups and downs but has always been an important piece in the alvinegro squad.

This season, Yuri Alberto faced physical issues and was only available in nine of Corinthians' 16 games this year. While on the field, the forward was responsible for a third of the team's goals, which scored nine goals during the period when the number 9 played.

Without him, Corinthians maintained the goal average, but most were scored by players from other areas of the field. Of the nine goals scored without Yuri on the field, only three were netted by forwards: Vitinho, Gui Negão, and Kayke Ferrari.

However, Yuri Alberto's greatest impact on Corinthians is in creating goal opportunities. With a mobile number 9, the forward is involved in most of Timão's chances, which decreased in his absence. With Yuri on the field, the team created 21 great opportunities, and without him, only 10.

In total, Yuri Alberto scored 79 goals and provided 22 assists in the 215 games he played for Corinthians. The forward also won three titles: the Campeonato Paulista and the Copa do Brasil, both in 2025, and the Supercopa the following year.
