Corinthians forward Memphis Depay will miss the upcoming Campeonato Paulista derby against Palmeiras on Sunday, April 13, 2026. The Dutch international confirmed he has not recovered from a grade two muscle injury in his right thigh.
In a social media post, Depay explained that setbacks during his rehabilitation have delayed his return. He stated his commitment to the club, saying, "I want to stay at Corinthians and help the team," while acknowledging the frustration of being sidelined.
The injury, sustained in late March, rules him out of one of Brazilian football's most significant fixtures. Medical reports from the club confirm the diagnosis and indicate a careful recovery protocol is being followed to prevent further complications.
