Jorginho may be sidelined for up to a month

Jorginho suffered a muscle injury in his right thigh during the Flamengo match against Racing (ARG), for the Libertadores, on October 29. Tests confirmed the issue, but there is still no expected return date to the field. The medical department is closely monitoring the progress and will determine the next steps based on the response to treatment.

Recovery in cases like this varies widely. Some athletes return in about 15 days, others in three weeks, and rarer situations can take up to a month.

According to a report by Coluna do Fla, for now, Flamengo is exercising caution and monitoring the player's progress before deciding on his return to group training.

In a statement, the club announced on Saturday night (01) that Jorginho is sidelined and is following the recovery plan established by the medical department. The situation highlights the team's attention to upcoming commitments.

WHAT HAPPENED TO JORGINHO?

Jorginho was a starter in the Libertadores semifinal against Racing, in Avellaneda, and played for 87 minutes. At the end of the match, the midfielder went down on the field, making way for Evertton Araújo.
