Memphis limps off v Flamengo, injury concern for Corinthians | OneFootball

The Corinthians might face a concern for the rest of the season. Forward Memphis Depay felt pain in his right thigh and left the field in the first half of the match against Flamengo, this Sunday, at Neo Química Arena.

Memphis Depay felt the injury shortly after Corinthians' equalizing goal, around the 18th minute of the first half. The Dutch player was involved in the play by switching the game to Matheus Bidu and immediately grabbed his right leg.

When the game paused for Flamengo's kickoff, Memphis signaled to the Timão's bench and requested a substitution. He went straight to the locker room and returned to the bench in the second half.

The choice of coach Dorival Júnior was to bring Rodrigo Garro in for the Dutchman, who is expected to be re-evaluated soon.

Memphis, it should be noted, was called up by the Netherlands for the March FIFA date friendlies. The Dutch national team will face Norway and Ecuador. If an injury is indeed confirmed, the number 10 might miss his national team's last commitments before the final World Cup call-up.

In the current season, Memphis has played 12 matches wearing the Corinthians jersey, contributing one goal and one assist.
