Yuri Alberto faces recovery setback at Corinthians

Corinthians striker Yuri Alberto has faced a setback in his recovery from a right thigh muscle injury. After making progress in his rehabilitation, the player experienced a regression, likely due to the inability of new scar tissue to withstand increased physical loads. This setback has forced him to restart several stages of his physiotherapy and rehabilitation process.

As a result, his availability for upcoming matches is in doubt. It is considered highly unlikely that he will play in the decisive Conmebol Libertadores quarter-final second leg against Estudiantes next Wednesday. Coach Fernando Diniz noted that while the club is waiting anxiously for his return, he cannot guarantee the player's presence for the continental match due to the lack of medical certainty.
