Striker Paolo Guerrero is set to make his return for Corinthians after recovering from dengue fever, the Brazilian football club has said.
The 31-year-old Peru international footballer has not played since being diagnosed with the mosquito-borne disease on April 11, reports Xinhua.
He returned to full training on Monday and is expected to start in Corinthians' Copa Libertadores round-of-16 match against Paraguay's Guarani in Asuncion on Wednesday.
"He has lost weight but his physical condition is good," Corinthians coach Tite said on Monday.
"He could play the entire match on Wednesday, or a big part of it."
The Copa Libertadores is South America's premier football club competition.
