Saúl and Léo Ortiz step up fitness at Ninho do Urubu before Flamengo return | OneFootball

Saúl and Léo Ortiz reported to Ninho do Urubu on Tuesday to step up fitness before Flamengo reconvene after the break, according to Globo.com. The squad are due back on 19 June to begin a mid-season camp at the training centre.

Ortiz is recovering from a minor muscle injury in his right hamstring sustained in the win over Coritiba. He travelled to Paris with his wife, then returned to Rio to continue treatment with the medical staff.

Saúl has no injury, but is using the pause to improve conditioning. The Spaniard had surgery on his left ankle this season, only returned about a month ago and has not yet delivered on the pitch.

Flamengo expect to have the full group available for the mid-season work from 19 June, except those called up. Players will undergo tests at Ninho do Urubu, giving the club time to get the pair fully fit before games resume.

On 28, the delegation will travel to Portugal for a training camp and three friendlies, one against Benfica. The return to Brazil is planned for 12 July.
