What happened to Saúl Ñíguez, Flamengo’s midfielder?

The 2025 season is over, but Flamengo is not resting, already thinking about planning for 2026. In this way, the club has set a date to conduct a medical evaluation on Saúl Ñíguez, who has been suffering from pain in the tendon of his left leg.

To determine the real situation of the discomfort in the area, Saúl will undergo tests this Monday (22). After that, Flamengo and the player himself will reach a consensus to decide which procedure will be carried out.

It’s important to note that, in addition to Flamengo’s Medical Department, Saúl also has the support of his personal health professional in Spain. The parties have already exchanged ideas on the matter. This information comes from ‘GE’.

WHAT IS SAÚL ÑÍGUEZ’S CURRENT SITUATION?

Since arriving at Flamengo, Saúl has been receiving injections in the tendon area to ease the pain. In other words, the club has taken a conservative approach to the situation. Now, the vacation period along with pre-season will be crucial times to see how the player’s recovery from this discomfort will go.

WHAT IS THE CURRENT SITUATION OF THE FLAMENGO SQUAD?

Even while undergoing medical exams, it’s worth noting that Saúl and the entire Flamengo squad are on vacation. The red-and-black delegation began their break last Thursday (18), a day after the end of the Club World Cup in Doha, Qatar.

For now, there is still no set date for the squad’s return to training in 2026. What is already known is that Flamengo’s first matches in the Carioca will be played by the under-20 team. The Ninho’s youngsters, in fact, began their pre-season on Thursday (18) at the Ninho do Urubu training center.
