Leonardo Jardim will not be able to count on Jorginho for the next Brasileirão match

Coach Leonardo Jardim has picked up a new headache for Flamengo’s next Brasileirão match. That’s because, this Sunday (10), Jorginho received his third yellow card of the tournament and will therefore have to serve an automatic suspension against Athletico-PR.

In the 19th minute of the first half, Jorginho slid in on Leo Perez to stop a Grêmio counterattack. With the foul called, referee Davi de Oliveira Lacerda showed a yellow card to the Flamengo midfielder.

Was Jorginho one booking away in Flamengo vs. Grêmio?

Yes! It is worth noting that Jorginho had already been shown yellow cards against Corinthians and Botafogo. As a result, with this third booking, the No. 21 will not be able to play against Athletico-PR next Sunday (17).

What options does coach Leonardo Jardim have?

At the moment, coach Leonardo Jardim has Evertton Araújo, Saúl and De La Cruz available to make up Flamengo’s midfield. In addition, the Portuguese coach is awaiting the returns of Erick Pulgar and Lucas Paquetá, who are currently under the care of the club’s medical department.

How is the match between Flamengo and Grêmio going?

Despite playing away from home, Flamengo is controlling the match against Grêmio this Sunday (10). It’s no surprise that the Rubro-Negro has already hit the woodwork of the team from Rio Grande do Sul twice. However, the score remains 0-0.
