Jardim rues Jorginho, Evertton Araújo absences, says: “Vitória now” | OneFootball

Jorginho and Evertton Araújo will miss Flamengo’s next Brasileirão match

Flamengo beat Grêmio 1-0 this Sunday (10), in the 15th round of the Brasileirão. Despite the win, the Rubro-Negro received two pieces of bad news for the next league match. In a press conference, Leonardo Jardim commented on the upcoming absences of Jorginho and Evertton Araújo due to suspension.

— I definitely want to get them (Paquetá and Pulgar) more prepared for the Coritiba match, because right now we have Nico and Saúl, and if we have more options it is important for us to manage the midfield. For the next match they are not suspended (Evertton and Jorginho) because it is a different competition, but we have to prepare the team well -, he said, before concluding:

— I already played once against Vitória, they are talking about refereeing, but I felt outrage and extra pressure. We have to prepare the team mentally because other things besides football may happen -, Leonardo Jardim concluded.

What happened to Jorginho and Evertton Araújo in Flamengo’s match?

In the 19th minute of the first half, Jorginho made a sliding tackle on Leo Perez to stop a Grêmio counterattack. As a result, with the foul called, referee Davi de Oliveira Lacerda showed a yellow card to the Flamengo midfielder. Since he was one booking away from suspension, he will have to serve a suspension in the next round of the Brasileirão.

Meanwhile, Evertton Araújo received a yellow card in the 47th minute of the first half. On that occasion, the midfielder fouled forward Francis Amuzu and was booked. As a result, the player will not face Athletico-PR next Sunday (17), at Arena da Baixada.

What is the situation with Pulgar and Paquetá?

With Jorginho and Evertton Araújo unavailable for the next round of the Brasileirão, Flamengo is racing against time to recover Erick Pulgar and Paquetá. The Chilean is recovering from a right shoulder injury, while the number 20 is being treated for muscle edema in his left thigh.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Flamengo will now turn its focus back to the Copa do Brasil. This Thursday (14), the Rubro-Negro will face Vitória again at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Barradão, for the second leg of the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil.

So, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Flamengo and Vitória through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Sportv (pay TV) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Copa do Brasil match.
