Memphis a doubt as Corinthians begin preparations to face Mirassol | OneFootball

The Corinthians squad returned to training on Thursday morning, just hours after the 1-1 draw with Internacional at Beira-Rio. The focus is now on the game against Mirassol this Saturday, for the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship. Forward Memphis Depay is still doubtful for the match.

The Dutch player, who is recovering from an edema in the posterior muscle of his right thigh, continued with his physical transition work. Therefore, he has not yet returned to normal training with his teammates.

Timão has only one more training session before facing Mirassol. If Memphis trains without restrictions on Friday, he may be included.

How was the training?

The Corinthians delegation returned from Porto Alegre during the early hours and rested at the Dr. Joaquim Grava Training Center. In the morning, the players began their preparation for the next commitment.

The starters against Inter performed a regenerative activity inside the facilities, while the others went to the field and participated in an exercise focused on ball possession and pressure marking in a reduced space.

Finally, coach Dorival Júnior led a session of player confrontations.

News

Besides the possible return of Memphis Depay, Dorival also hopes to have defender André Ramalho available this weekend. He missed the last two matches due to a strain in his right thigh.

Meanwhile, forward Yuri Alberto, who served a suspension, is guaranteed to return. Midfielder Charles, with pain in his right knee, is doubtful. Midfielders Garro and Carrillo, who are injured, are definite absences.

It is also worth remembering that Dorival, who is suspended, will not be able to lead the team. The tendency is for the coach's son and assistant, Lucas Silvestre, to stand by the sideline.
