Memphis returns as Corinthians gear up for the derby | OneFootball

Corinthians returned to training on Tuesday morning and began preparations for the derby against Santos, for the fourth round of the Campeonato Paulista. The activities held at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava featured a new face: Memphis Depay.

According to information from the club, the Dutch forward completed his first session with the rest of the squad at the start of this season. The player is currently undergoing a muscle rebalancing process and is not yet available to Dorival Júnior for the match against Peixe.

Another player who appeared on the pitch was midfielder Rodrigo Garro. The Argentine, however, is also unavailable. He is still recovering from surgery on his left wrist.

The latest absences are defender Cacá, with a strain in the internal oblique muscle on the left side of his abdomen, and midfielder José Martínez, who has not yet returned from Venezuela.

How was the training session?

The Corinthians squad started the day with a physical activation in the gym. After warming up on the pitch, the starters from the derby against São Paulo last Sunday returned indoors for a recovery session.

The rest remained on the field and took part in a technical exercise of attack versus defense, led by Dorival Júnior’s coaching staff.
