Yuri Alberto returns to Corinthians lineup for Internacional match

Corinthians striker Yuri Alberto is set to return to action this Wednesday against Internacional in a Campeonato Brasileiro match. The forward has been sidelined for 69 days following a right thigh injury sustained on July 30 during a match against Athletico-PR.

Alberto expressed significant anxiety and eagerness to assist the team, noting that the recent preparation period helped the squad unite. While he is expected to be in the starting lineup at Beira-Rio, the club may manage his playing time to prevent further setbacks, given his previous regression during the physical transition phase.

The return comes at a critical time for Corinthians, which currently sits in 14th place with 32 points. The team is facing instability, including a streak of six consecutive defeats in the league, and faces a 21.4% mathematical probability of relegation.
