After four matches away due to a thigh edema on the left leg, midfielder Jorginho is ready to return to Flamengo in the clash against Estudiantes, for the Copa Libertadores da América. In an interview with Fla TV, the player expressed his anxiety and motivation to wear the red-black jersey again.
“We know the importance of the game and my personal expectation is high to be able to return to the field. I felt it was a long period, I'm not used to this, so the desire is great to play again, help my teammates, help Flamengo,” stated Jorginho.
The midfielder also highlighted the team's spirit in facing the continental challenge, reinforcing the team's confidence for the decisive match. Flamengo will take the field in Argentina against Estudiantes with the advantage of being able to draw to advance to the Libertadores semifinals.
“We are very confident for this big game, it will be very difficult. We have to keep believing, regardless of where the game is, impose our football and everything we have worked on,” he added.
Jorginho has not played since the 8-0 victory over Vitória on August 25, and he has been recovering at Ninho do Urubu. His return represents an important reinforcement for the red-black midfield, especially at a time of high technical and emotional demand.
