See how Flamengo's injured trio are recovering | OneFootball

With the break in the schedule for the World Cup, head coach Leonardo Jardim gained a valuable two-week period of training and three friendlies to fine-tune Flamengo.

The main objective of the medical and fitness staff right now is to recover three key squad players: Léo Ortiz, Saúl, and Jorginho.

Check below for the medical update on the trio, according to information from ge.

The club has taken a cautious approach, but the first few days of work at Ninho do Urubu brought encouraging news:

Jorginho (Defensive Midfielder): Recovered from a fracture in a toe on his right foot that kept him out of the last matches, the player has already rejoined the squad and is training normally with the group, without restrictions.

Léo Ortiz (Center Back): He suffered a minor muscle injury (grade 1) in his right thigh against Coritiba. He gave up part of his vacation to continue treatment at the training center and, although he is not yet training with the ball, his recovery is on schedule. He will travel with the squad to Portugal.

Saúl (Defensive Midfielder): The Spaniard, who underwent surgery on his left ankle and is trying to regain his ideal rhythm, also cut short his vacation to focus on physical preparation and is doing specific work to return to the expected level.

✈️ Off to Portugal: Friendly Match Schedule

Flamengo’s delegation departs for Europe on June 28, where the team will continue its preparation and play three high-level friendly matches.

Match schedule:

July 3: Flamengo vs. River Plate

July 8: Flamengo vs. Lausanne

The squad is scheduled to return to Brazil on July 12.
