By: Rodrigo Lima

Center-back Léo Ortiz rejoined his teammates last Friday (19) at CT Ninho do Urubu. Upon returning to training, the No. 3 showed improvement in his recovery from a right thigh injury, as he was able to take part in activities on the field.

Léo Ortiz suffered a strain in his right thigh in the match between Flamengo and Coritiba, the last one before the World Cup break. As a result, there was expectation to find out what condition the defender would be in when he reported back.

Also according to Coluna do Fla, Léo Ortiz is fit to train. Even so, if Flamengo had matches next week, for example, the defender would hardly be in condition to play.

HOW WAS LÉO ORTIZ’S RETURN TO FLAMENGO?

It is important to note that before the squad’s official return, Léo Ortiz gave up the final stretch of his vacation to treat the injury. In recent days, the No. 3 had already been undergoing treatment on his left thigh at CT Ninho do Urubu. That allowed the player to return a step ahead.

HOW IS FLAMENGO’S PRESEASON GOING?

After a few days off, Léo Ortiz and the rest of the available squad returned to training. In the first few days, the squad is undergoing a battery of tests and also carrying out tactical and physical activities on the field.

This first stage in Brazil will run until June 28, when Flamengo will already be preparing for the next mission during this World Cup period. That is because, one day later, Rubro-Negro will travel to Portugal for a midseason training camp in the Algarve. During that stay, Mengão will play three friendlies. They are: River Plate (ARG), Benfica (POR) and Lausanne (SUI).
