The defender, who is recovering from a ligament strain in his right ankle, returned to training with the group. He has not played for almost a month – his last match was against Racing on October 30th.

Léo Ortiz missed seven consecutive games for Flamengo. During this period, the team achieved four wins, two draws, and one loss, conceding eight goals.

Now, coach Filipe Luís will have to decide whether to field the defender despite his lack of match fitness or stick with the duo of Danilo and Léo Pereira. Léo Ortiz is considered one of the defensive pillars of the Rubro-Negro in their Libertadores campaign.
