Yuri Alberto doubtful for Corinthians ahead of Santos derby
Corinthians striker Yuri Alberto is a doubt for the upcoming derby against Santos due to discomfort in his right thigh. While medical exams indicated no new injury, the discomfort is reportedly linked to fibrosis during the healing process of a previous muscle injury sustained in July.
In preparation for the match, Corinthians may see the return of Memphis Depay to the starting lineup after a five-month absence. Other players, including goalkeeper Hugo Souza and midfielders Rodrigo Garro and Matheus Bidu, are expected to be available. However, the team will be without midfielder Breno Bidon due to suspension and André, who is recovering from a thigh injury while negotiating with Nottingham Forest.
