The training week for Flamengo started off positively. That’s because, in addition to Jorginho, Léo Ortiz also returned to participate in activities with his teammates. Thus, Coluna do Fla brings details on how the number 3 of Mengão is recovering.
Léo Ortiz has been sidelined for Flamengo since the second leg against Racing (ARG), in the semifinals of the Libertadores, due to pain in his right ankle. Throughout this period, the defender has been receiving special attention to resolve the discomfort in the area.
Responding well to the stages of recovery, Léo Ortiz has advanced in training. On the morning of this Monday (17th), the defender made progress and carried out activities on the field. With this, there is anticipation to see if the player will return to the team for the derby against Fluminense this Wednesday (19th), at Maracanã.
If Léo Ortiz returns, coach Filipe Luís will have a reinforcement in defense. Besides the number 3, Rubro-Negro is also waiting to see if they will be able to count on Jorginho, who has also returned to field training after recovering from a thigh injury.
On the other hand, Flamengo may have a series of absences due to players being called up for the FIFA international break. In an effort to minimize losses, the club chartered a plane to bring players back from their respective national teams. However, the athletes will only take the field after their physical condition is evaluated.
The next match for Flamengo will be against Fluminense, for the 34th round of the Brasileirão. The ball will roll for the derby at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) this Wednesday (19th), at Maracanã. Thus, Coluna do Fla TV will show the details of the match on YouTube, as well as on their website and social media.
