Jorginho a doubt for Flamengo in the Brasileirão with thigh pain | OneFootball

At Ninho do Urubu this Wednesday, Flamengo continued their preparations for the match against Juventude, for the 23rd round of the Campeonato Brasileiro.

Jorginho, who had been recovering from pain in his left thigh and was even rested during the 1-1 draw against Grêmio, also drew attention. The midfielder is still feeling discomfort and remains doubtful for Sunday’s game, at 4 p.m. (Brasília time), at Alfredo Jaconi, in Caxias do Sul.

After two rounds of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers, Uruguayans Arrascaeta and Varela reported back to the club. While the midfielder returned early and was cleared to train, the right-back came back with a case of pubalgia and will undergo daily evaluations by the medical department.

On the other hand, Alex Sandro made progress in his recovery from a left calf injury and has already started on-field work with physiotherapy, but his presence is still not guaranteed for this weekend. Erick Pulgar, who is recovering from a fracture of the fifth metatarsal in his right foot, also remains under medical supervision and will undergo a CT scan on Friday to assess his progress before resuming ball training.

Despite the absences and precautions, coach Filipe Luís was able to work normally with the rest of the squad, carrying out tactical activities to adjust the team for the match against Juventude. The Rubro-Negro, with 47 points, are looking to maintain their lead in the Campeonato Brasileiro and get back to winning ways after the draw with Grêmio.
