Number 10 ranks among Corinthians' top outfield minutes in 2025 | OneFootball

In recent weeks, part of the Corinthians fanbase has been questioning the number of matches played by forward Memphis Depay. However, despite some physical issues throughout the season, the number 10 is the fifth outfield player in the squad with the most minutes on the field in 2025, totaling 2,955.

Out of the 62 games played by Corinthians this season, the Dutch forward participated in 42, with 33 as a starter, scoring eight goals, making him the team's second top scorer, and providing 10 assists, leading the team in this aspect. In terms of time on the field, Depay is behind only five outfield players in the squad. The data was released by journalist Rodrigo Vessoni on X (formerly Twitter).

They are: right-back Matheuzinho (3,952 minutes – 47 games, 43 as a starter); forward Yuri Alberto (3,322 minutes – 48 games, 35 as a starter); midfielder Raniele (3,229 minutes – 44 games, 40 as a starter); defender André Ramalho (3,128 minutes – 38 games, 34 as a starter); and midfielder Breno Bidon (3,112 minutes – 46 games, 35 as a starter).

In 2025, Memphis Depay suffered a right ankle trauma in April, followed by a ligament injury in the same area in May. In the second half of the year, in August, he had a grade 2 injury in the posterior thigh muscle, and was affected by an edema in the same region in September. During this period, he also played for the Netherlands national team, becoming the country's all-time top scorer, surpassing Van Persie.

Since joining Corinthians in September 2024, after not renewing with Atlético de Madrid (Spain), the number 10 has played 56 matches for the Alvinegro, starting 44, with 31 wins, 12 draws, and 13 losses, achieving a 62.5% success rate. Additionally, he scored 15 goals and provided 14 assists.

Memphis Depay was a key player in Corinthians' comeback in the last edition of the Brasileirão, helping the team move out of the relegation zone and secure a spot in the 2025 Pre-Libertadores, finishing seventh with 56 points. In this year's Paulistão, his only title with the club so far, the forward also stood out in the derbies against Santos and Palmeiras, being decisive both in the group stage and in the semifinals and final.

According to a post by the page Fiel Imprensa, also on X, the Corinthians players with the least minutes on the field in 2025 — considering only those still at the club — are: midfielder Luiz Gustavo Bahia (57 minutes), midfielder Luiz Eduardo (67 minutes), right-back João Vitor Jacaré (89 minutes), midfielder André (126 minutes), and midfielder Dieguinho (139 minutes). Among them, only Luiz Eduardo is still part of the Under-20 team.

Left-back Diego Palacios (39 minutes) and forward Giovane (90 minutes) would also be part of this list if they hadn't left Corinthians mid-season. Among the current squad players who have been with the team since the beginning of the year, the one with the least minutes on the field is forward Héctor Hernández, with 586 minutes. Currently, he trains separately and is not part of the technical staff's plans, despite his contract being valid until December 2026.
