Filipe Luís uncertain on Jorginho before Flamengo v Estudiantes | OneFootball

What happened to Jorginho before the Flamengo vs Estudiantes (ARG) match in the Libertadores?

Flamengo has a few uncertainties for the match against Estudiantes (ARG), in the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Libertadores. One of them is whether Jorginho will be available or not for Filipe Luís in the clash this Thursday (18th), at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã.

Jorginho has been absent since the match against Grêmio, the last one before the FIFA break, due to discomfort in his left thigh. Taking advantage of the ‘free’ calendar period, the Italo-Brazilian managed to return to training, but ended up feeling pain in the area again.

Given this situation, Jorginho is receiving special treatment from Flamengo’s medical department. In a statement this Wednesday (17th), the club reported that the midfielder is in the transition phase and is doing activities accompanied by the Mengão physiotherapists.

IS JORGINHO OUT OF THE FLAMENGO VS ESTUDIANTES MATCH?

According to reporting by Coluna do Fla, Filipe Luís is facing a ‘tough decision’ regarding Jorginho. At the moment, the player is fit to play, but is not 100% physically.

Given this scenario, Filipe Luís and the coaching staff are evaluating whether it’s worth the risk to include Jorginho in the squad for the clash with Estudiantes. Since it’s a ‘decisive’ match, the final verdict will come this Thursday (18th), after the player is re-evaluated upon arrival at Ninho do Urubu.
