Jorge Carrascal misses Flamengo's match against Chapecoense | OneFootball

Last to return, Colombian will serve suspension against Chapecoense

Flamengo is getting ready to resume its official match schedule after the end of the World Cup. Although all the called-up players have already returned, the Rubro-Negro is not expected to have everyone available for this Wednesday’s match (22) against Chapecoense.

In short, Jorge Carrascal was the last of the called-up players to report back to Flamengo. In the meantime, the Colombian will still have to serve a suspension against Chapecoense, as he was sent off against Palmeiras and later punished by the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD).

In any case, Carrascal would not travel with the Flamengo squad to Chapecó. That is because the player has not played since June 7, when he featured in a friendly with Colombia. On that occasion, the Colombian National Team beat Jordan 2-0.

Has Carrascal been monitored on the market?

Yes! In fact, Filipe Luís recently inquired about Jorge Carrascal’s situation with Flamengo. Currently, the coach who managed the Colombian at the Rubro-Negro is in charge of Monaco (FRA). Despite the coach’s interest, the head of scouting of the French team turned down the midfielder.

It is important to mention that, despite being monitored, Carrascal was unable to raise his value at the World Cup. That is because the player, who was called up by the Colombian National Team, did not play in the competition and left the tournament without a single minute on the field.

When does the transfer window open?

It is worth noting that the second transfer window of 2026 will take place between July 20 and September 11. In other words, it opens this Monday (20). This means Flamengo will have about two months to try to sign reinforcements. In addition, the Rio club will have to deal with market interest in players from the current squad.

When does Flamengo play?

Still without Jorge Carrascal, Flamengo returns to official action this Wednesday (22). On that occasion, the Rubro-Negro faces Chapecoense at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), in a match valid for the 19th round of the Brazilian Championship. In addition, the clash will be played away from home, at Arena Condá.

It is worth emphasizing that the Flamengo vs. Chapecoense match will be broadcast live by Rede Globo on free-to-air TV. In addition, Premiere, through pay-per-view, will also air the match. On the other hand, Coluna do Fla will follow every detail of the Rubro-Negro on its website, social media, and YouTube channel.
