Jorginho suffers fracture, out of Flamengo v Cusco in Libertadores | OneFootball

When did Jorginho suffer an injury to the big toe on his right foot?

Jorginho is out of Flamengo's match against Cusco (PER) this Tuesday (26) at the Maracanã, in the final round of the Libertadores group stage. This is because the midfielder suffered a fracture to the big toe on his right foot in the match against Palmeiras.

What was Flamengo's statement on Jorginho?

“Jorginho has a confirmed fracture, Flamengo’s sixth in five months

Clube de Regatas do Flamengo informs that, after an imaging exam carried out on the morning of this Monday (25), midfielder Jorginho had a fracture confirmed in the big toe of his right foot. The injury resulted from two violent fouls suffered in the first half of Flamengo x Palmeiras, in which the opposing player was not even shown a yellow card.

It is worth noting that this is the sixth fracture suffered by a Flamengo player in less than six months of the season. In none of the plays that led to these injuries was the opposing player sent off. In some cases, such as last Saturday, not even a yellow card was given.

In contrast to this scenario, Flamengo is the team with the most ball-in-play time in the country, only the 12th team in number of fouls committed, but it is the club with the most players sent off in the Brasileirão so far: six, five of them with straight red cards. None of these send-offs resulted in the opposing player leaving the field or suffering an injury.

Jorginho is out of the match against Cusco, valid for the CONMEBOL Libertadores, this Tuesday (26). If he is not fit to play next Saturday (30), he will be Flamengo’s tenth confirmed absence for the match against Coritiba in the 2026 Betano Brasileirão.”

Is Jorginho also out of the match against Coritiba?

Flamengo has not confirmed Jorginho's absence for the match against Coritiba on Saturday (30), in the 18th round of the Brazilian Championship. However, the tendency is for the player to remain out and return to the pitch only when he is 100% fit.

Therefore, there is a possibility that Flamengo will face Coritiba without ten players. That is because the players called up to compete in the World Cup for their respective national teams will have to report before the match.

Will Flamengo take the field before the match against Coritiba?

Yes! Flamengo faces Cusco at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) this Tuesday (26) at the Maracanã, in the final round of the Libertadores group stage. The match will be broadcast on ESPN, on pay TV, and on Disney+ via streaming.
