Corinthians live in expectation of Memphis' return against Atlético-MG

Corinthians is expecting to have striker Memphis Depay for the game against Atlético-MG, this Sunday (24), at 6:30 pm (Brasília time). The number 10, who has not played for two months due to an injury to his right thigh, is in the final stretch of the physical transition process.

Timão reported that, last Wednesday (20), the attacker trained normally with his teammates at CT Joaquim Grava.

When asked about Memphis' physical condition after the draw with Peñarol-URU, in the Copa Libertadores, coach Fernando Diniz stated that he hopes to count on the player before the World Cup break. In addition to the duel against Atlético-MG, the team will also face Platense, on the 27th (Wednesday), and Grêmio, on the 30th (Saturday).

"He has a chance to play (before the World Cup break), he is in the process of transition", said the coach, who once again defended the striker's renewal.

"I'm counting on him, I really want him to stay. He's a different player. I hope he continues to help us", added Diniz.

Memphis is in the last month of his contract with Corinthians. The club is looking for partners willing to pay for the athlete's monthly salaries, but has not yet been successful.
