Arrascaeta, Jorginho to face São Paulo? Filipe Luís on Flamengo debut | OneFootball

With Arrascaeta and Jorginho missing, Flamengo lost to Fluminense this Sunday (25)

Arrascaeta and Jorginho were not available for Flamengo in the last two matches, in which the main team took over the Campeonato Carioca. After the Rubro-Negro’s defeat to Fluminense this Sunday (25), Filipe Luís commented on the absence of the duo and looked ahead to the debut in the Brasileirão, scheduled for next Wednesday (28).

— We gain physical condition by competing, by getting minutes. That was the case for many who played today, like Pedro and Bruno Henrique, 45 minutes each, as previously agreed. Alex Sandro was only going to play 60 minutes, Varela could only play 30 minutes -, he said.

WHY DIDN’T JORGINHO AND ARRASCAETA PLAY?

Arrascaeta is following the plan set for the season, in a situation similar to what happened in 2025. Meanwhile, Jorginho had his wisdom teeth removed and only returned to training this Saturday (24).

Moreover, as Filipe Luís pointed out, the players’ presence on the field depends on each one’s ideal physical condition. Therefore, the duo remains doubtful for Flamengo’s debut in the Brasileirão.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO DEBUT IN THE BRASILEIRÃO?

Next Wednesday (28), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), Flamengo faces São Paulo at Morumbis, for the first round of the Brasileirão. As usual, Coluna do Fla brings all the information about Mengão.
