Flamengo give update on player’s condition after shoulder surgery | OneFootball

Johnny injured during Flamengo vs. Bangu match

Flamengo has a confirmed absence for the match against Volta Redonda this Saturday (17th), for the second round of the Carioca. This is because, after getting injured against Bangu, Johnny underwent shoulder surgery. The Rubro-Negro has even provided an update on the young fullback’s condition.

“As previously reported, the athlete Johnny Góes underwent a surgical procedure on his left shoulder on the night of Thursday (15th). The surgery went as planned, without complications,” the statement said, before concluding:

“The player was discharged from the hospital on the morning of this Friday (16th) and has already begun the recovery process, under the supervision of Flamengo’s Medical Department,” concluded the Rubro-Negro.

What happened to Johnny, Flamengo’s fullback?

A starter for Flamengo, Johnny left the Moça Bonita pitch at the 29th minute of the first half. At the time, during a challenge for the ball, the fullback ended up falling to the ground on his shoulder. The young player left the field in tears and in a lot of pain in his left shoulder.

Thus, Johnny was evaluated by Flamengo’s Medical Department last Thursday (15th) and underwent surgery. Now, with the absence of the fullback, Gusttavo is expected to take the starting spot in the next Mengão match.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Without Johnny, Flamengo returns to the field this Saturday (17th) to face Volta Redonda. The match will take place at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at the Raulino de Oliveira stadium, for the second round of the Carioca.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match between Flamengo and Volta Redonda through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, SporTV (cable channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Rubro-Negro match.
