Flamengo injuries: Pedro close to return, updates on Carrascal, Jorginho | OneFootball

Flamengo has five players under the care of the club's Medical Department

Reported by Rodrigo Lima

The Medical Department of Flamengo updated the physical condition of the injured players this Monday (03). Pedro, Carrascal, Léo Ortiz, Jorginho, and Cebolinha receive daily monitoring for a safe return to training and matches. The coaching staff closely monitors each player's progress.

Pedro suffered a fracture in his right forearm on October 22. Bone consolidation varies from four to eight weeks. The expectation is for a return in four weeks, considering the striker's history.

The pain has improved, and the plan is to start field treatment next Wednesday (05). Gradually, the player will be cleared for full training. There is a possibility of playing with arm protection in the Libertadores final, if cleared.

IS CARRASCAL CLOSE TO RETURNING?

Carrascal has edema and strain in his right rib. On Monday (03), the Colombian reported discomfort but continues treatment with medication and rest. The return depends on the pain's evolution.

The player may return in one or two games, but there is also the possibility of a delay. The medical team evaluates each case and adjusts the schedule as needed.

WHEN WILL LEO ORTIZ BE 100%?

Leo Ortiz suffered a sprained right ankle against Palmeiras. He played against Racing (ARG) with physical limitations but received special attention from the medical team.

The club intends to ensure the defender's full physical condition before any decisive match. If the Libertadores final were this Monday (03), the defender would play, but the priority is to allow for ‘ideal performance’.

JORGINHO AND CEBOLINHA?

Jorginho is recovering from a posterior thigh muscle injury. The issue is minor and receives daily monitoring. Finally, Cebolinha is completing recovery from an iliopsoas muscle injury, without pain, but still not training with the squad.
