Is Jorginho back? Latest on Flamengo midfielder ahead of Carioca semi-final | OneFootball

Flamengo has had Jorginho in only two matches this season so far

The first match of the Campeonato Carioca semifinal between Flamengo and Madureira takes place this Sunday (22). However, the Rubro-Negro will once again not be able to count on the presence of midfielder Jorginho.

This is because the Italo-Brazilian is still recovering from a muscle injury in his left thigh. Despite being sidelined against Madureira, there is a chance the player could be available for Fla against Lanús (ARG) on Thursday (26). The information comes from ‘GE’.

When did Jorginho get injured?

O Mais Querido lost the midfielder after the 2-0 defeat to Corinthians in the Supercopa Rei. As a result, the player has participated in only two of Flamengo’s twelve matches. All the club has reported is that the “midfielder continues to follow the recovery plan established by Flamengo’s Medical Department.”

Does Flamengo have any other confirmed absences?

In addition to Jorginho, Mengão is also without Saúl Ñíguez. The Spanish midfielder is still recovering from ankle surgery. Wallace Yan, however, remains a doubt due to muscle pain.

What time does Flamengo vs Madureira take place?

Without Jorginho, this Sunday (22), Mengo faces Madureira, starting at 8:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã. The match is part of the Campeonato Carioca semifinal.

Coluna do Fla TV, as usual, will provide detailed coverage of the match with on-site reporting by Rodrigo Lima and Rock Hudson on YouTube, as well as on their website and social media. Finally, Premiere (pay-per-view) and GETV (YouTube) will broadcast the match.
