Corinthians slip to ninth as Cori plan Memphis talks and Labyad has knee surgery | OneFootball

Corinthians slipped to ninth in the Brasileirão, while off-field focus turned to talks over Memphis Depay and Zakaria Labyad’s knee surgery.

According to Meu Timao, the Cori will convene online on Monday at 17:00 to discuss renewing Memphis Depay’s deal. Osmar Stabile has presented the negotiated terms and is awaiting guidance on next steps.

At Neo Química Arena, Fernando Diniz’s side lost 2-1, with centre-back Gustavo Henrique netting the hosts’ only goal.

Attacking midfielder Zakaria Labyad has undergone reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. He later shared a photo on social media alongside friends and Memphis.

After the match, Matheus Bidu discussed the possibility of a turnaround in Memphis Depay’s situation. Diniz reviewed the home setback in his press conference.

The coach added he could not guarantee Yuri Alberto’s return for Thursday’s meeting with Rosario Central, and also addressed Gabriel Paulista’s condition.

Cruzeiro right-back Fagner spoke for the first time about his Corinthians exit, saying the decision was taken by the club’s board under Augusto Melo. The display fed into poor fan ratings in the Notas da Torcida feature.
