Danilo starts for Flamengo against Juventude, replacing Léo Ortiz | OneFootball

Danilo prepares for Flamengo's game next Sunday (14), for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão

Flamengo is preparing to return to the field next Sunday (14), when they face Juventude. For the match, Danilo will take over as the starting defender in place of Léo Ortiz. As a result, the player has been intensifying training even on days off.

In summary, after three games on the bench, Danilo will return to Flamengo's starting lineup in the next game against Juventude. This is because the defender will replace Léo Ortiz, who is suspended and will not even travel to Caxias do Sul with the Flamengo delegation.

Did Danilo recently get injured?

Yes! It's worth remembering that in July, Danilo suffered an injury to the back of his right thigh, in a game against Fluminense. Now, the player will have his second opportunity to play for Flamengo since he recovered from the injury. This is because Filipe Luís' 'trusted' pair is made up of Léo Pereira and Léo Ortiz, absolute starters.

Since recovering from the injury, Danilo has only played in one Flamengo game. On that occasion, on August 17, the defender came on in the second half of the victory over Internacional, for the Brasileirão. However, after that, the athlete has not played anymore.

How has Danilo been preparing to return to the starting lineup?

It's important to highlight that Danilo used the team's days off to further improve his physical condition. In the meantime, the defender posted images of him training last week, when Flamengo gave the players four days off after the draw with Grêmio, last Sunday (31).

What are the details of Flamengo's next game?

Now, with Danilo available, Flamengo only returns to the field next Sunday (14), when they face Juventude, for the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship. Thus, the teams will face off from 4pm (Brasília time), at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, in Rio Grande do Sul.
