Saúl a doubt for Vasco clash? See if Flamengo midfielder trained | OneFootball

Saúl Exited in the Second Half in Match Against Estudiantes (ARG)

After leaving the field in the second half against Estudiantes (ARG), Saúl raised concerns in the medical department of Flamengo and became a doubt for the match against Vasco this Sunday (21). However, good news for the fans: the Spaniard trained normally on Saturday (20).

On Thursday (18), in a Libertadores match, Saúl fell on the Maracanã field and was substituted by Allan at 19 minutes into the second half. The Spaniard felt discomfort in his left foot and became a doubt. However, after participating in the last training session before the classic, the number 8 is likely to be included.

It's important to highlight that Saúl's week was full of emotions. Last Saturday (13), the midfielder became a father. Subsequently, he traveled overnight, arrived in Caxias do Sul in the early hours of Sunday (14), and was a starter against Juventude. Additionally, he started the match against Estudiantes.

DID ALEX SANDRO AND JORGINHO TRAIN?

Besides Saúl, two other names are doubts for the match against Vasco: Alex Sandro and Jorginho, who haven't played since August 25, in a match against Vitória. The full-back trained normally on Friday (19) and this Saturday (20) and is expected to be an option for Filipe Luís.

Meanwhile, Jorginho worked on the field with physiotherapy after a left thigh edema on Friday (19) and participated in the session without limitations on Saturday (20). Therefore, there is a high chance that the midfielder will at least be on the bench for the classic against Vasco.
