Samuel Lino, Pedro and 2 more set for different Flamengo break: why | OneFootball

Pedro and Samuel Lino still waiting on World Cup hopes

After the 3-0 win over Coritiba on Saturday (30), the Flamengo squad began its vacation period, taking advantage of the break in the schedule for the World Cup. However, the situation is different for two Flamengo players: Léo Ortiz and Jorginho.

In short, neither Léo Ortiz nor Jorginho went on vacation with the rest of the Flamengo squad. That is because both will continue treatment for their respective injuries. While the center back suffered a thigh muscle injury against Coritiba, the midfielder has been dealing with a toe fracture since the match against Palmeiras.

According to GE, Léo Ortiz, at least, will get a few days off starting June 8. It is worth remembering that the official return of the Flamengo squad to Ninho do Urubu is scheduled for the 19th of the same month. On that occasion, the players will undergo their first physical tests and routine medical evaluations.

Meanwhile, Pedro and Samuel Lino, who were on Carlo Ancelotti’s preliminary list, are closely following developments involving the Brazil National Team. That is because Brazil’s coach can call up players up to 24 hours before the Seleção’s debut if he needs to replace any player.

What are Flamengo’s next steps?

It is worth noting that, so players do not lose match fitness during the break for the World Cup, Flamengo has put together a special plan, including a midseason training camp in Portugal. As a result, the squad will travel to Europe on June 28.

The first stage of Flamengo’s preparation will take place in the city of Lagos, where the group will stay from June 29 to July 5. Right after that, the delegation will head to Estoi, where training will continue until July 12.

During their time in Portugal, Flamengo will play three friendlies to prepare for the return of official competitions. In short, the matches will be against Falkirk (SCO), Birmingham (ENG), and Benfica (POR).

When will Flamengo return to action?

Despite the friendlies in Portugal, Flamengo will only officially return to the field on July 22, when they face Chapecoense. The teams will meet in the 19th round of the Brasileirão, at Arena Condá in Chapecó, at a time yet to be confirmed and announced.
