Memphis Depay Misses Corinthians Match with New Calf Injury
Memphis Depay will miss the upcoming Corinthians match because of a fresh calf injury. The Dutch forward is the all‑time top scorer for the Netherlands national team.
The setback arrives after he seemed to have recovered from a thigh injury that kept him out for two months. The thigh problem had limited his playing time earlier in the season.
Medical staff identified the calf strain just as he was about to be included in the matchday squad. The injury forced coaches to remove him from the selection.
Depay's absence adds pressure on the Brazilian side as they prepare for the fixture. His goal‑scoring record makes him a key attacking option for Corinthians.
Corinthians will need to adjust their forward line without the Dutch striker. The team must rely on alternative players to fill the void.
Depay will undergo treatment and rehabilitation before returning to action. The club hopes he recovers quickly to rejoin future matches.
