Jorginho and Léo Ortiz back in training with the Flamengo squad | OneFootball

With an eye on the classic match against Fluminense, Flamengo trained this Monday at Ninho do Urubu and had two new developments: Jorginho and Léo Ortiz participated in the training session with the squad and have a chance of playing in the match at Maracanã.

Both have not played since October 29, when Flamengo drew 0-0 with Racing in the Libertadores semifinal.

Until now, Jorginho, who had a right thigh injury, had only been working with the club’s physiotherapy team on the pitch. Meanwhile, defender Léo Ortiz was following a recovery schedule with the medical department after feeling pain in his right ankle. Both players have shown progress in their recoveries and have been cleared to train with the Rubro-Negro squad.

In addition, Pedro, who is dealing with a fracture in his right forearm, continues to participate in Flamengo’s training sessions, but only in activities without physical contact with the group. The expectation is that he will be available for the Libertadores final against Palmeiras at the end of November.

Alex Sandro, Danilo, Arrascaeta, Varela, Viña, Carrascal, and Plata are serving their respective national teams and will be evaluated by the medical department to determine if they will be physically fit to play in the Carioca classic.
