Yuri Alberto set for Corinthians return: “No pain at all” | OneFootball

Forward Yuri Alberto has fully recovered from the injury to his left thigh. The Corinthians player suffered a fibrous tissue rupture in the back of his thigh during the match against Athletico-PR in July, in the Brazilian Championship. He was even expected to return for the Copa Libertadores round of 16.

However, during treatment, Yuri Alberto suffered a setback in his recovery and had to spend more time sidelined. The forward took part in the entire training session with the main squad this Tuesday, and after the activity he was evaluated again by the club’s medical department.

Yuri has been cleared to be included again by coach Fernando Diniz. The expectation is that he will gradually increase his work with the group. Yuri Alberto should be cleared to play again after the FIFA international break. That being the case, the expectation is that he will face Internacional at Beira-Rio in the 29th round of the Brazilian Championship.

“I’m anxious. These have been two difficult months for the club, and for me being out as well, seeing everything that was happening on the field and not being able to help my teammates. That’s very hard,” said Yuri Alberto in a video from the Legacy Colecionárives profile, a Corinthians partner.

In addition to being eliminated from the Copa Libertadores and the Copa do Brasil, Corinthians have now piled up six straight defeats in the Brazilian Championship. The match against Internacional has taken on extra importance because it is a direct clash in the battle against relegation.

Yuri Alberto is expected to be in the starting lineup

Even after so long without playing, the forward is expected to return to the team as a starter. Coach Fernando Diniz’s choice is explained by the team’s need to score goals and start winning again in the Brasileirão.

“I had my first training session with the group and it went very well, with no pain at all. The injury is completely healed. I’m very happy to be able to come back, and I promise I’ll give my all so that together we can turn things around, change this story by the end of the season,” the forward assured.
