Corinthians talk to Netherlands over Memphis, await Garro’s return | OneFootball

Recovered from an edema in the right hamstring, forward Memphis Depay returned to action for Corinthians after almost a month. He entered in the second half of the victory over Mirassol, this Saturday, at Neo Química Arena, for the Brazilian Championship, and played for about 17 minutes.

Still far from the ideal rhythm, the player had few actions with the ball and was not very participative. He is now preparing to represent the Netherlands in this Fifa date.

The assistant and son of Dorival Júnior, Lucas Silvestre, revealed in a press conference that the black and white technical commission is in contact with the Dutch national team so that Memphis follows the schedule adopted by the club. He also said that the number 10 was able to play for a maximum of 25 minutes.

"It was already planned that Memphis would play less time, a load adaptation. He comes from few trainings. Our physical trainers are in contact with the Dutch national team, so that he follows the plan we had with him. It was expected that he would play for 20 or 25 minutes. I liked his entry, he helped us offensively and defensively," he evaluated.

Garro back?

Lucas Silvestre was also questioned about the deadline for the return of Rodrigo Garro. The midfielder, undergoing treatment for an injury in the right calf, will have time to recover during this Fifa date.

The assistant said that the Argentine, who has been off the pitch for almost a month, is starting the physical transition. The expectation is that, in the coming weeks, he will return to train with the squad at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava.

"Rodrigo is not yet with the group. He is starting the transition now. We hope that this week he can start this work with the group," said Lucas.

Full medical department

Currently, Corinthians' medical department has four injured players. They are: André Ramalho (strain in the right hamstring), André Carrillo (ligament injury in the left ankle), Charles (treatment for pain in the right knee) and Rodrigo Garro (muscle injury in the right calf).

In addition, there is a concern about Vitinho. The forward left the game against Mirassol with pain in the right knee and will be evaluated by the club this Sunday.

Situation in the table

With the victory, Corinthians moves away from the relegation zone and jumps to the tenth position in the Brasileirão table, with 33 points earned. In total, there are eight wins, nine draws, and ten losses.
