What happened to Flamengo center-back Léo Ortiz?


By: Rodrigo Lima

Center-back Léo Ortiz suffered a right thigh injury in Flamengo’s last match before the break for the World Cup. In an effort to recover from the injury as quickly as possible, the No. 3 gave up part of his vacation and has already returned to the Ninho do Urubu training center.

According to reporting by Coluna do Fla, Léo Ortiz enjoyed only a few days of vacation and then immediately started focusing on recovering from the injury. Given the situation, the defender moved up his return and has already begun following the plan set out by the club’s medical department as of this Tuesday (09), at Flamengo’s training center.

For now, Léo Ortiz’s idea is to make the most of the time without matches so he can complete each stage and recover as quickly as possible. That is because the center-back’s goal is to be 100% healed and free of thigh pain before the start of the mid-season training camp Flamengo will hold in Portugal.

It is important to note that the players began their vacation on May 31, with training scheduled to resume on June 19. In other words, the center-back Léo Ortiz spent only one week enjoying his time off and is now fully focused on recovery.
