One of the main players for Flamengo, Jorginho had been recovering from a right thigh injury since October 29. At the time, the midfielder was injured in the semifinal of the Libertadores against Racing (ARG), in Avellaneda.

This Monday (17th), the midfielder trained normally and is expected to be a new reinforcement against Fluminense. Additionally, it is worth noting that Filipe Luís will still lead another training session this Tuesday (18th), when he will decide the starting lineup.

In addition to having Jorginho back, Flamengo organized a special operation to bring back players who are on international duty.

Thus, Uruguay, Colombia, and Ecuador will play friendlies in the United States on Tuesday (17th), one day before the derby. The club chartered a plane to ensure the arrival of Varela, Viña, Arrascaeta, Carrascal, and Plata to Rio de Janeiro on Wednesday (19th).

Despite their return, the participation of these players in the Fla-Flu is not yet confirmed. This is because the club will assess the physical condition of each athlete, considering their playing time in the friendlies and the fatigue from travel.
