Memphis stuck in Rio, misses Corinthians training session

The forward Memphis Depay was absent from the Corinthians training session on Tuesday afternoon at the Dr. Joaquim Grava Training Center. The Dutch player, who was in Rio de Janeiro, could not return from his trip due to bad weather conditions and did not participate in the activity.

Memphis spent the last two days off in the capital of Rio. On Monday, he requested permission to return by helicopter and received approval from the club to land on one of the fields at the training center.

The arrival was scheduled for 12:30 PM (Brasília time) this Tuesday. However, the bad weather prevented the takeoff. As a result, the number 10 kept in touch with the management looking for ways to travel to São Paulo, as Rio de Janeiro is experiencing an unusual day with a mega-operation by the Civil Police. The City Hall's recommendation is for people to avoid traveling.

The information was released by Corinthians itself, through its press office. Check the statement:

“The forward Memphis Depay did not participate in Tuesday's training (28). The player was in Rio de Janeiro and, on Monday (27), requested the club's permission to land a helicopter on one of the training center's fields, which was authorized. The landing was scheduled for 12:30 PM, but the bad weather prevented the takeoff. Memphis kept in contact with the management throughout the day and continues to seek ways to return to São Paulo, considering that Rio de Janeiro is experiencing an unusual day, with a recommendation from the Municipal City Hall for people to avoid traveling.”
