Leonardo Jardim will not be able to count on Jorginho for the next Brasileirão match

Coach Leonardo Jardim has been handed a new headache for Flamengo’s next Brasileirão game. That’s because, this Sunday (10), Jorginho picked up his third yellow card of the competition and, as a result, will have to serve an automatic suspension against Athletico-PR.

In the 19th minute of the first half, Jorginho went in with a slide tackle on Leo Perez to stop a Grêmio counterattack. With the foul given, referee Davi de Oliveira Lacerda showed a yellow card to the Flamengo midfielder.

Was Jorginho one booking away in Flamengo vs Grêmio?

Yes! It is worth noting that Jorginho had already been shown yellow cards against Corinthians and Botafogo. Therefore, with the third booking, the No. 21 will not be able to play against Athletico-PR next Sunday (17).

What are coach Leonardo Jardim’s options?

At the moment, coach Leonardo Jardim has Evertton Araújo, Saúl and De La Cruz available to make up Flamengo’s midfield. In addition, the Portuguese coach is hopeful of the returns of Erick Pulgar and Lucas Paquetá, who are currently under the care of the club’s medical department.

How is the match between Flamengo and Grêmio going?

Despite playing away from home, Flamengo are controlling the game against Grêmio this Sunday (10). It is no coincidence that the Rubro-Negro have already hit the woodwork of the team from Rio Grande do Sul twice. However, the score remains 0-0.
