Jorginho and Alex Sandro were absent from Flamengo's first quarterfinal match in the Libertadores

Important absences in the last matches of Flamengo, Jorginho and Alex Sandro are close to returning to the list of players called up by coach Filipe Luís and have a good chance of reinforcing the team next Thursday (25), against Estudiantes (ARG).

The duo trained normally with their teammates on the field this Friday (19) and may even come as a surprise in the match against Vasco, on Sunday (21), for the Brasileirão. This Saturday's (20) training will be decisive for the definition of Jorginho and Alex Sandro.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME JORGINHO PLAYED FOR FLAMENGO?

Jorginho has not played since August 25, when Flamengo thrashed Vitória 8-0 in the Brasileirão. Subsequently, the midfielder missed the matches against Grêmio, Juventude, and Estudiantes. The Italo-Brazilian is not injured, but he was feeling pain in his left thigh.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME ALEX SANDRO PLAYED FOR FLAMENGO?

The last match of Alex Sandro was also against Vitória. On that occasion, the left-back suffered a calf injury, which kept him out of the next three matches for Flamengo and also resulted in his removal from the Brazilian National Team list.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S SCHEDULE FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS?

Out of the match against Estudiantes (ARG) on Thursday (18), Jorginho and Alex Sandro participated in the movement this Friday (19). On Saturday (20), the activity at the George Helal Training Center starts at 9:30 am (Brasília time).

On Sunday (21), the ball rolls for Flamengo and Vasco, for the 24th round of the Brasileirão. Therefore, the match is scheduled for 5:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. If Mengão is on the field, there is full coverage from Coluna do Fla, live, on the website, on social media, and on YouTube.
