Flamengo to decide Saúl Ñíguez’s future after the Intercontinental | OneFootball

Saúl Ñíguez is with Flamengo's squad in Doha for the World Cup

Saúl Ñíguez is in Doha, Qatar, with the Flamengo squad for the Intercontinental Cup. Amid the tournament, the medical department of the red-black club decided that the Spanish midfielder will not undergo surgery.

According to information from journalist Venê Casagrande, Flamengo decided that Saúl Ñíguez will undergo conservative treatment without the need for surgery. This is because there is no tendon rupture, only pain in the area.

However, the decision about the tendon treatment still depends on Saúl Ñíguez. This is because the Spanish midfielder will listen to his own private doctor's evaluation before deciding on the situation at the end of the season.

WHAT IS SAÚL'S SITUATION?

Saúl Ñíguez gave an interview to Globo Esporte at the beginning of the week to talk about his first season at Flamengo. Thus, the Spanish midfielder confirmed that there is a possibility of undergoing surgery after the Club World Cup, which ends on the 17th of this month.

— It's been very good, I believe the adaptation is going well. On a football level, I started at a very high level, but I had a problem that now I feel I have to undergo surgery after the World Cup and try to reach that football level again, to feel physically well — said Saúl, at the beginning of the week.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

Thus, with Saúl Ñíguez available, Flamengo will take the field again next Saturday (13th), at 2 PM (Brasília time), in Doha, for the semifinal. As usual, Coluna do Fla provides all the information.
