Memphis shows off new look in Netherlands training, see the photos | OneFootball

The forward Memphis Depay, from Corinthians, surprised everyone with a new look during the Netherlands national team training session this Wednesday. The player has gone back to wearing braids.

The star wore braids in his hair at the beginning of his time with Timão. Earlier this year, however, he decided to change and had been playing with a shaved head. See below:

Focus on the FIFA date

Called up by Ronald Koeman, Memphis Depay is preparing to play two more rounds of the European Qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup during this FIFA date. The Dutch national team will face Poland and Lithuania.

The forward, it’s worth noting, can further extend his lead among the top scorers in the history of the Oranje. Leading the ranking, he has 54 goals. Depay is also the team’s top assist provider, with 35 assists.

Upcoming Netherlands matches

Concern for the derby

Memphis Depay’s participation in the Netherlands matches is a concern for Corinthians ahead of the derby against São Paulo. That’s because the second and final game for the Oranje during this FIFA date will be played just three days before the Majestoso.

The expectation is that the player will return to Brazil on a private flight right after the match between the Netherlands and Lithuania, and will be evaluated by Timão’s coaching staff and physical trainers. If he is fit, he may be included in the squad for the clash in Itaquera.
