Jorginho and the Flamengo squad are in Portugal for the next stage of their mid-year break training camp. That means River Plate will be Rubro-Negro’s first opponent during this stay on Portuguese soil.

That is because next Wednesday (08), Flamengo face Lausanne Sports (SUI) at 4:30 p.m. (Brasília time). Finally, they will wrap up their run of games in Portugal against Benfica (POR) on July 11 at 3:30 p.m. (Brasília time).

HOW IS THE FLAMENGO SQUAD ARRIVING FOR THE TRAINING CAMP IN PORTUGAL?

Flamengo’s last match before the break for the World Cup took place on May 31, against Coritiba in the Brasileirão. After that, the squad was given 15 days off.

The squad reported back on June 12 at CT Ninho do Urubu. In the first sessions, the players underwent medical evaluations as well as physical and tactical work. After that, the squad prepared to travel to Portugal. Since the start of this period, Flamengo have been shorthanded, considering that nine players were called up to represent their countries at the World Cup. As a result, Arrascaeta, Varela, De La Cruz, Plata, Carrascal, Lucas Paquetá, Alex Sandro, Danilo, and Léo Pereira are unavailable.

HOW IS FLAMENGO’S STAY IN PORTUGAL GOING?

Last Sunday (28), Flamengo’s delegation left Rio de Janeiro to begin their stay in Portugal. In addition to the three scheduled matches, the squad is also carrying out training activities in the region. After July 11, the players will return to the ‘Marvelous City’.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S SCHEDULE AFTER RETURNING FROM PORTUGAL?

Continuing the training camp, Flamengo will wrap things up in Brasília. That is because on July 17 (Friday), Rubro-Negro have a match against Olimpia (PAR) at 8 p.m. (Brasília time) at Mané Garrincha Stadium, in the Federal District.
