Jorginho to Strengthen Flamengo in Match Against Juventude, for the Brasileirão

Currently, the Brazilian football calendar is paused due to the September FIFA Date. With this, Flamengo is close to fulfilling a special dream: emptying the Medical Department. So far, only two athletes are missing for the goal to become a reality.

Initially, Flamengo did not have Jorginho, Alex Sandro, and Erick Pulgar available. However, the Brazilian midfielder returned to training with the red-black squad during activities amid the FIFA Date. Thus, the number 23 should be available against Juventude, in the next Fla match.

Alex Sandro

Moreover, Flamengo has an optimistic projection for the return of Alex Sandro still in September. The club's idea is for the player to be available for the match against Estudiante de La Plata (ARG), for the first leg of the quarter-finals of the Libertadores, on the 18th.

Erick Pulgar

Thus, only the return of Erick Pulgar to the field will be missing. However, Flamengo can take another important step regarding the midfielder's return. This is because the Chilean will undergo a new CT scan.

In summary, Pulgar's exam will be conducted between next Thursday (11) and Friday (12) for a decisive evaluation of the fracture in the fifth metatarsal of the right foot. Thus, the exam result will determine the next steps of the recovery and the timeline for the midfielder's return to the field.

When is Flamengo's Next Match?

Flamengo returns to the field next Sunday (14) after two weeks without matches. With the return of Jorginho, but without Erick Pulgar and Alex Sandro, the Most Beloved will face Juventude, in a match valid for the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship. The teams will face off starting at 4 PM (Brasília time), at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, in Rio Grande do Sul.
