Line-up: Memphis trains with the squad, boosts Corinthians against Mirassol | OneFootball

The Corinthians is ready to face Mirassol and has an important new addition: Memphis Depay. On Friday afternoon, the alvinegro squad trained at the Dr. Joaquim Grava Training Center and finished their preparation for the match against the Paulista rival, valid for the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship.

The forward Memphis Depay trained normally with the rest of the squad this Friday and is available to the coaching staff. The Dutchman completed the physical transition phase after recovering from a right thigh edema and can strengthen Timão.

Absences, Doubts, and Returns

The main doubt at Corinthians is regarding the return of André Ramalho. The defender is recovering from a strain in the posterior muscle of the right thigh. There is a possibility that the defender will return to the squad, but his presence is still uncertain.

The absences for Corinthians, on the other hand, start on the sidelines. Coach Dorival Júnior was expelled for complaining about the refereeing in the draw against Internacional and will not lead the team. The one on the sidelines will be assistant coach Lucas Silvestre, the commander's son.

On the field, Timão will continue to have the absences of midfielders Rodrigo Garro (grade 2 calf injury) and André Carrillo (ligament injury in the left ankle), and also of midfielder Charles (pain in the right knee).

On the other hand, a certain return is that of forward Yuri Alberto, who served a suspension in the match against Internacional. The number 9 is back and should form the starting attack duo alongside the young Gui Negão.

Probable Corinthians Line-up

A probable Corinthians line-up includes: Hugo Souza; Matheuzinho, João Pedro Tchoca (André Ramalho), Gustavo Henrique, and Matheus Bidu; Raniele, Maycon, José Martínez, and Breno Bidon; Yuri Alberto and Gui Negão (Memphis).

How Was the Training?

At the Dr. Joaquim Grava Training Center, the players started the day by watching a tactical instruction video in the briefing room and then did an activation in the gym. Subsequently, the squad went to the field to play a ten against ten game on a reduced field.

After this activity, the players who played for more than 45 minutes against Internacional performed a new regenerative activity inside the training center. The other athletes remained on the field for tactical work on offensive construction and a finishing complement.

Corinthians' Situation in the Brazilian Championship

The Corinthians saw the distance to the relegation zone decrease after Vitória's triumph over Ceará last Thursday. Timão hasn't won in three rounds in the Brazilian Championship and occupies the 13th position in the table, with 30 points – five more than Vitória, which opens the Z4.
