Flamengo player sidelined for Carioca, making progress after surgery | OneFootball

Johnny, who was injured against Bangu, took another step towards returning to the field

A starter in the first two matches of Flamengo in the Campeonato Carioca, Johnny Góes has progressed in his recovery after undergoing shoulder surgery. The player, who was injured against Bangu at Moça Bonita, has started physiotherapy but still has no estimated return to the field.

The information comes from a report by Coluna do Fla. Johnny suffered an acromioclavicular joint injury requiring surgical treatment after a collision at 26 minutes of the first half with Lucas Sibito from Bangu. The match took place on January 14, and the procedure was done hours later, on 01/15.

A left-footed defender, Johnny had the opportunity to play against Portuguesa and Bangu in the Carioca, but out of position. Since Flamengo's under-20 team had no left-back, the defender had to be improvised in the role. After the injury, coach Bruno Pivetti tried out defender Carbone and right-back Gusttavo on that side.

WHO IS JOHNNY GOÉS?

Recruited by Flamengo from Boavista de Saquarema, 18-year-old Johnny has been with the club since 2023. At the club, the young player won a Campeonato Carioca Under-17 and two Rio Cups in the same category. The last one, in 2024, was under the command of coach Filipe Luís.

PROBLEM SOLVED AT LEFT-BACK?

A shortage in Flamengo's under-20 team, the left-back position should no longer be a problem. This is because the Rubro-Negro has completed the signing of Ramirez, who was at Mirassol. The 19-year-old arrives at the club to strengthen Bruno Pivetti's squad in the Brasileirão and Libertadores competitions.

In addition to Ramirez, Flamengo also signed contracts with forward Josmar, formerly of Avaí, and Spanish defender Muñoz, formerly of Portuguesa. The trio visited Ninho do Urubu this Tuesday (03) and have already started working with the youth team's coaching staff.
