Will Depay be fit in time for the World Cup in North America? |
According to The Touchline , the striker born in 1994 has not yet fully recovered from his previous injury. More worryingly, Depay has started to feel pain in his other leg during training and recovery. This raises serious questions about the Dutch forward's participation in the 2026 World Cup.
This news has caused much concern among Dutch fans because Depay remains a highly experienced and influential figure in the Dutch attack. He is currently the all-time leading scorer for the Dutch national team with 54 goals, surpassing many legends to hold the top spot on the scoring list.
With the 2026 World Cup fast approaching, fitness issues are becoming increasingly sensitive for major national teams. The Dutch coaching staff is reportedly closely monitoring Depay's condition before making a final decision.
Coach Koeman is expected to announce the Netherlands national team's squad on May 27th. If Depay doesn't recover in time, it will be a significant blow to the European team's ambitions at the biggest football tournament on the planet.
After 7 matches for Corinthians in the 2026 season, Depay has only scored 1 goal. However, his experience and knack for scoring in World Cup finals are qualities that must be mentioned regarding the former Manchester United star.
In the World Cups he participated in in 2014 and 2022, Depay scored 3 goals and provided 2 assists, making him one of the few remaining players from the generation that reached the semi-finals of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil who is still playing.
