Memphis Depay has faced significant scrutiny regarding his performance and integration at Corinthians during the 2026 season. As the squad’s highest-paid player, he has been criticized for failing to meet expectations and for struggles with physical conditioning. Internal tensions have also been reported, with a growing distance between the Dutch attacker and his teammates, a situation noted by both former coach Fernando Diniz and current coach Clarence Seedorf.

Depay’s availability has been further complicated by an edema in his right femoral biceps. While he has begun a physical transition phase to recover, his return to action remains uncertain. The club’s medical staff is exercising extreme caution due to his history of muscular issues, which will likely keep him out of the upcoming match against Mirassol. 

His availability for the high-stakes derby against São Paulo on November 4 remains uncertain. If recovery is delayed, he may only return to action after the FIFA international break, between November 9 and 17. This injury occurs during a critical period as Corinthians struggles in the relegation zone of the Campeonato Brasileiro. The team’s efforts to secure points in the final six rounds are further complicated by other medical absences, including Gabriel Paulista and Raniele.
