Jorginho's 'tricky' muscle injury, Saúl near return: 6 Flamengo updates | OneFootball

Flamengo updated the clinical status of six players this Tuesday (14)

Coluna do Fla obtained access this Tuesday (14) to the clinical status of six Flamengo players after an update from the club’s medical department. Among the cases, Jorginho is dealing with an injury considered “tricky”, while Saúl is getting closer and closer to returning to action.

DOES JORGINHO HAVE AN EXPECTED RETURN DATE?

Jorginho is still recovering from a calf injury in a muscle considered “tricky”, which requires caution in the recovery process. The player still has no defined timetable for his return and remains under monitoring by the medical department.

IS SAÚL READY TO RETURN YET?

Sidelined due to surgery on his left heel carried out in January 2026, Saúl is progressing through the final stage of his transition and has already been handed over to the coaching staff. The midfielder’s return now depends on the assessment of Leonardo Jardim, but the progress is considered positive.

Meanwhile, De La Cruz and Paquetá continue playing while undergoing physical monitoring. The Uruguayan, who has a chronic knee issue, has shown significant improvement compared to last season and has been responding well, including in high-altitude matches, with performances considered positive.

Paquetá, on the other hand, suffered a fracture to the fourth metacarpal in his right hand. At the moment, the midfielder’s injury is in an advanced stage of calcification, after more than four weeks of treatment, and is progressing toward the removal of the immobilization.

HOW ARE CEBOLINHA AND PULGAR DOING?

With a rib fracture, Cebolinha is also making steady progress, already taking part in activities involving game situations and advancing in his recovery. Finally, Pulgar is recovering from a dislocated shoulder, did not need surgery, and still has no expected return date.
