Jorginho in Flamengo squad for Libertadores decider, full list here | OneFootball

The Flamengo fan received important news this Tuesday. Midfielder Jorginho, who missed the last few games for Flamengo, has been listed by Filipe Luís for the second leg of the quarter-finals of the Libertadores against Estudiantes from Argentina.

Wearing jersey number 21, he missed the last four matches of the red-black team due to a thigh edema. He has been recovering from the injury at Ninho do Urubu and hasn't played since the 8-0 victory over Vitória on August 25.

Since joining the club during the Club World Cup, Jorginho quickly established himself as a starter in Filipe Luís's team, becoming a key player in Flamengo's game system. In total, he has played 15 games, scoring one goal and providing two assists.

Flamengo needs just a draw to qualify for the Libertadores semi-final. In the first leg, played last Wednesday, the Red-Black team defeated Estudiantes 2-1 at Maracanã. If they advance, the Carioca team will face the winner of the match between Racing-ARG and Vélez, both from Argentina, who play this Tuesday.

The decisive match between Flamengo and Estudiantes is scheduled for this Thursday at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at the Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium in La Plata, Argentina.
