Flamengo set date for Carrascal return, midfielder may still leave | OneFootball

Jorge Carrascal will be the last called-up player to report back to Flamengo

Flamengo are wrapping up preparations to face Olimpia (PAR) this Friday (17), in the final friendly before returning to official matches. In the meantime, the Rubro-Negro have set the date for Jorge Carrascal to report back after playing in the World Cup with Colombia.

In short, according to reporting by Coluna do Fla, Jorge Carrascal will report back to Flamengo next Saturday (18). It is important to note that the player could still leave the club, which would be open to negotiating him in the next transfer window.

Which players have still not reported back to Flamengo?

It is worth stressing that not all the called-up players have reported back to Flamengo yet. So far, those who have returned to training are: De La Cruz, Guilermo Varela, Arrascaeta, Lucas Paquetá, and Gonzalo Plata.

However, three other players will report back to Flamengo on Thursday afternoon (16). They are: Danilo, Léo Pereira, and Alex Sandro. As a result, the three will not be available to Leonardo Jardim for Flamengo’s friendly against Olimpia on Friday (17).

Has Carrascal been monitored in the transfer market?

Yes! That is because Filipe Luís recently checked Jorge Carrascal’s situation with Flamengo. The coach, who managed the Colombian at the Rubro-Negro, is currently in charge of Monaco (FRA). Despite the manager’s interest, the head of scouting at the French club turned down the midfielder.

When does the transfer window open?

It is worth noting that the second 2026 transfer window will run from July 20 to September 11. That means Flamengo will have about two months to try to sign reinforcements. In addition, the Rio club will have to deal with market interest in players from the current squad.

When do Flamengo play?

Unofficially, Flamengo return to the pitch this Friday (17), when they face Olimpia at 8:00 p.m. (Brasília time), in the final midseason friendly before the schedule resumes. As such, FlamengoTV will broadcast Fla’s match live with pictures throughout Brazil. It is worth remembering that the match will take place at Mané Garrincha Stadium, in the Federal District.

And when do Flamengo officially return to action?

Finally, Flamengo return to the pitch next Wednesday (22). On that occasion, the Rubro-Negro will face Chapecoense in a match valid for the 19th round of the Brazilian Championship. In addition, the game will be played away from home, at Arena Condá.
