Jorginho ruled out of Flamengo match today | OneFootball

Flamengo Faces Sampaio Corrêa with Three Absences

Flamengo takes the field this Saturday (07) to face Sampaio Corrêa in the Campeonato Carioca. For the match that decides a spot in the state knockout stage, Filipe Luís will not be able to count on Jorginho.

Number 21 will miss Saturday's game (07) due to a left hamstring injury. It's worth noting that Jorginho was already absent from the last match against Internacional, serving a suspension.

WILL FLAMENGO HAVE OTHER ABSENCES?

Besides Jorginho, Flamengo has two other confirmed absences. This is because Saúl remains out while recovering from surgery on his left ankle. Additionally, due to muscle pain in his right thigh, Luiz Araújo will also miss the game against Sampaio Corrêa.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S SITUATION IN THE CARIOCA?

With four points, tied on goal difference with the last-place Maricá, Flamengo is trying to distance itself from the relegation playoff in the Campeonato Carioca. Therefore, a victory is ideal for the Rubro-Negro this Saturday (07).

Currently outside the qualification zone for the knockout stage, the team needs to beat Sampaio Corrêa. Additionally, they depend on slip-ups from Madureira, Boavista, or Nova Iguaçu to keep the dream of the final phase alive.

It's worth noting that Flamengo could still advance with just a draw against Sampaio Corrêa. Even so, Nova Iguaçu would need to lose by five goals or more to Portuguesa.

WHAT ARE THE DETAILS OF THE MATCH BETWEEN FLAMENGO AND SAMPAIO CORRÊA?

Without Jorginho, Flamengo returns to the field this Saturday (07) to face Sampaio Corrêa. The match kicks off at 9 PM (Brasília time) at Maracanã. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will provide match details through YouTube, as well as on their website and social media. Finally, SporTV (cable channel), Premiere (pay-per-view), and Ge TV (YouTube) will broadcast the match.
