The training week for Flamengo started positively. This is because, in addition to Jorginho, Léo Ortiz also returned to participate in activities with his teammates. Thus, Coluna do Fla provides details on the recovery of the number 3 of Mengão.
Léo Ortiz has been absent from Flamengo since the return match against Racing (ARG) in the semifinals of the Libertadores, due to pain in his right ankle. Throughout this period, the defender has been receiving special attention to alleviate the discomfort in the area.
Responding well to the recovery stages, Léo Ortiz has advanced in training. On the morning of this Monday (17), the defender progressed and performed activities on the field. This raises expectations to see if the athlete will return to the team for the classic against Fluminense this Wednesday (19) at Maracanã.
If Léo Ortiz returns, coach Filipe Luís will have a reinforcement in defense. Besides the number 3, the Rubro-Negro is waiting to see if they can count on Jorginho, who also returned to field training after recovering from thigh pain.
On the other hand, Flamengo may face several absences due to players being called up for the FIFA Date. To minimize the impact, the club chartered a plane to bring players back from their respective national teams. However, the athletes will only play after their physical condition is assessed.
The next match for Flamengo will be against Fluminense, for the 34th round of the Brasileirão. The classic kicks off at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) this Wednesday (19) at Maracanã. Thus, Coluna do Fla TV will showcase the details of the match on YouTube, as well as on their website and social media.
