Corinthians regain Gabriel Paulista and Carrillo, but Depay remains sidelined
Corinthians continued preparations for the Brazilian Championship round on Wednesday, but Memphis Depay again missed ball work due to pain and swelling in his left ankle. The Dutchman also sat out Tuesday's session after stepping awkwardly during Sunday's classic against Santos. Coach Fernando Diniz received positive news with the returns of defender Gabriel Paulista and midfielder André Carrillo, who had been rested early in the week but trained normally with the squad. Midfielder André and striker Yuri Alberto remain in the final phase of physical transition after thigh muscle injuries. The team faces mandatory changes for Sunday's match against Chapecoense, as midfielder Raniele received his third yellow card, while goalkeeper Hugo Souza and Gabriel Paulista are suspended. The club's medical department continues treating other key first-team players.
