WHAT HAPPENED TO JOSHUA AT FLAMENGO?

Attacking midfielder Joshua went a long time without being able to play, as he was recovering from an injury suffered in training with the senior squad. In February, the 18-year-old took a heavy knock and had to remain under the supervision of Flamengo’s Medical Department.

Throughout this entire period, Joshua followed the full recovery plan laid out for him and, after many months, is back. In fact, the trend is that the player will gradually earn more minutes over the course of the Flamengo Under-20 team’s schedule.

HAS JOSHUA ALREADY PLAYED FOR FLAMENGO’S SENIOR TEAM?

Joshua made his senior debut for Flamengo last season, on May 1. On that occasion, the player came on in the second half against Botafogo-PB and even scored for Mengão.

In 2026, Joshua was also part of the squad that played in the opening rounds of the Campeonato Carioca. At the time, the senior players were in preseason, while the Under-20 side took the field.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH?

With Joshua available, Flamengo return to the field this Thursday (21) to face Santos in the Under-20 Brasileirão. Kickoff is at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Estádio Luso Brasileiro, on Ilha do Governador. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will provide match coverage on the website and social media.
