Corinthians bring in Memphis's personal physio to treat injury | OneFootball

This Monday, Corinthians confirmed a new addition to its medical and physical preparation department. The club will bring in Memphis Depay’s personal physiotherapist, Fermin Valera, to join its staff so they can work together on the Dutch forward’s recovery.

Even after being withdrawn from the Netherlands squad following the thigh injury he suffered against Flamengo on March 22, Memphis took advantage of the FIFA international break to travel to Spain, more specifically Madrid, to undergo treatment with Fermin Valera, a professional he trusts.

Afterward, the physiotherapist accompanied the forward on his trip to the Netherlands, where he remained with his national team during the FIFA international break, even though he did not play. Now, he will continue monitoring the number 10 in Brazil.

“It will be an integrated effort to speed up Memphis’ recovery from the injury so that he can be back on the field as soon as possible,” said executive Marcelo Paz.

Memphis injury

The Dutch forward has already missed four matches for Corinthians, dating back to the game against Flamengo, when he felt pain while providing the assist for Timão’s only goal in the match. He suffered a strain in the front muscle of his right thigh and was also withdrawn from his national team’s squad during the last FIFA international break.

A familiar face

Physiotherapist Fermin Valera already has a history with Corinthians. He was also responsible for Rodrigo Garro’s treatment in April 2025, when the Argentine also traveled to Madrid to treat patellar tendinopathy in his right knee.
