Flamengo continues to prepare for the long 2026 season, with a calendar full of games from the beginning to the end of the year. This Thursday (19), coach Filipe Luís commented on signings, updated the situation of Jorginho, and mentioned the physical condition of the current squad.
— Always, during the season, there are some names that fall in the physical part, Jorginho had an injury, he will have to add training, some will take longer, others are at their physical peak… regarding arrivals and departures, we are always seeking balance —, started Filipe Luís.
— We have a very strong squad, see what we lack, we have to try to complement as quickly as possible to have a team that can face any type of adversity. We are attentive to the market to make the team as competitive as possible —, he concluded.
Jorginho was not listed by Flamengo for the match against Lanús (ARG), in the South American Recopa. This is because the Italian-Brazilian midfielder is recovering from a left thigh injury. The midfielder has not played since the Brazilian Super Cup final on February 1.
On the other hand, Flamengo remains attentive to the transfer market. The red-black team is still seeking to sign a center forward. This is because the Most Beloved saw proposals for Taty Castellanos from Lazio (ITA) and Kaio Jorge from Cruzeiro rejected.
However, while the management focuses on reinforcements, the Flamengo squad remains focused on the upcoming challenges. This is because the Most Beloved faces Lanús this Thursday (19), away from home, in the South American Recopa. Thus, Coluna do Fla brings all the information.
