Besides André Ramalho, Corinthians had only one player called up for the World Cup: forward Memphis Depay, selected by the Netherlands national team to represent the country in the tournament.

Meanwhile, the Corinthians squad remains on vacation. The players are scheduled to report back on June 25, when the coaching staff led by Fernando Diniz will begin planning for the mid-season training period.

After returning, Timão will have approximately three weeks of preparation before its next scheduled commitment. The team will play a friendly against Cascavel on July 12 in Paraná as part of its preparation for the challenges of the second half of the season.

The coaching staff will use the period to make adjustments to the squad, help the players regain physical condition, and improve tactical aspects before the official calendar resumes. Corinthians ended the first part of the season with qualification in the Copa do Brasil, while national and international competitions remain in the club’s plans for the rest of the year.
