In recovery from an injury at Corinthians, striker Memphis Depay showed improvement in treatment. On Friday, the Dutchman took to the field and performed some activities with the ball. The registration was made by the player himself on his social media profile, with the hourglass emoji.

Memphis is recovering from a grade two muscle injury in the posterior muscle of the right thigh. In Friday's training session, the number 10 took to the field accompanied by the physiotherapy department, but performed activities separately from the rest of the squad.

The Dutchman resumed treatment for the muscle injury after experiencing a viral infection earlier in the week. He rested until last Tuesday and was assisted by Corinthians' medical department during the period.

Memphis has been out of action for Corinthians since August 7, when the muscle injury was confirmed. The athlete suffered the injury in the match against Palmeiras, in the return leg of the Copa do Brasil round of 16. He attempted a sprint, but soon felt the problem and fell to the ground, being substituted in the first half.

The number 10 is still expected to miss the first leg of the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals, but may return in time for the return leg. The matches are scheduled for this Wednesday (August 27) and next Thursday (September 11). Corinthians will face Athletico-PR in the tie.

However, the striker is still a certain absence for this weekend's match against Vasco. Corinthians visits Cruzmaltino on Sunday, starting at 4 pm (Brasília time), at São Januário, for the 21st round of the Brazilian Championship.

Like Memphis, Corinthians will also have four other absences for the match against Vasco. They are: striker Yuri Alberto and right-back Hugo (inguinal hernia), as well as midfielders José Martínez (hand fracture) and André Carrillo (left ankle surgery).
