Jorginho returns to boost Flamengo v Juventude after injury | OneFootball

Flamengo returned this Friday (05), and Jorginho participated normally in the activities

Good news for Flamengo. After missing the last game against Grêmio on Sunday (31), Jorginho returned without issues this Friday (05) and is expected to strengthen the team against Juventude. The midfielder participated in the activities on the field at the Ninho do Urubu Training Center after four days off for the squad.

Jorginho didn't have an injury, but as a precaution, Flamengo decided to keep the midfielder out of the game against Grêmio. After all, the Italo-Brazilian player complained of discomfort in the posterior muscle of his left thigh. On that occasion, Nico de la Cruz was selected as a starter, forming a midfield duo with Saúl.

Due to Jorginho's age, 33 years, Flamengo is extra cautious with the midfielder and doesn't 'push' the player to avoid the risk of injury. It's important to highlight that after the Club World Cup, the athlete only missed three games: Atlético-MG (Copa do Brasil), Mirassol, and Grêmio (Brasileirão). In this post-Club World Cup period, Mengão played 14 matches.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S SCHEDULE?

With Jorginho, Flamengo returns to training this Saturday (06) at 9:30 AM (Brasília time) at the Ninho do Urubu Training Center. It's worth noting that coach Filipe Luís will not have the selected players for the activity. This is because Samuel Lino (Brazil), Gonzalo Plata (Ecuador), Jorge Carrascal (Colombia), Arrascaeta, Varela, and Viña (Uruguay) remain available for the World Cup Qualifiers matches.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY AGAIN?

Due to the FIFA Date, Flamengo will take the field again on the 14th, against Juventude, at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium in Caxias do Sul. The match kicks off at 4 PM (Brasília time), with exclusive streaming on Prime Video. However, Coluna do Fla will provide all the information about the Brasileirão match.
