Forward · Corinthians
Memphis Depay recovered from a thigh injury to reclaim his place in the Netherlands' 2026 World Cup squad as Corinthians' sole representative at the tournament.
Career
Depay was withdrawn from an earlier Netherlands squad after a thigh strain suffered in a Corinthians draw with Flamengo.
He returned as a second-half substitute in a 1-0 win over Atletico Mineiro on 24 May 2026.

Where they are now
Depay has said he would 'love to stay' at Corinthians while he awaits a new contract, even as his World Cup recall showed he remains a full Netherlands international.
