Jorginho misses training, doubtful for Flamengo v Grêmio in the Brasileirão | OneFootball

Jorginho has established himself as a starter since joining Flamengo

Flamengo continues preparation to face Grêmio, this Sunday (31), in a match valid for the 22nd round of the Brasileirão. In an attempt to distance themselves at the top of the national championship, Mengão seeks another victory in front of the rubro-negra fans. However, coach Filipe Luís may have a new 'headache' for the match: Jorginho.

This is because, Jorginho did not participate in Flamengo's training in recent days, due to pain in the posterior region of the thigh. However, it is worth noting that the exams did not detect any injury in the area. Therefore, the player will be evaluated before the game against Grêmio and, if he does not present muscle discomfort, he should play this Sunday (31).

What are Filipe Luís's options to line up Flamengo?

It is worth noting that, if Jorginho is out of the match, coach Filipe Luís has three options to form the midfield. De La Cruz returned to the fields after a physical reconditioning process. At the same time, Allan and Evertton Araújo remain available to the rubro-negro commander.

Does Flamengo have confirmed absences?

It is worth noting that, so far, Flamengo has two confirmed absences to face Grêmio. Alex Sandro started the recovery process after suffering a calf injury in his left leg during the game against Vitória, last Monday (25). In addition, Erick Pulgar continues treatment after fracturing the fifth metatarsal of his right foot.

When do Flamengo and Grêmio face each other?

Without the certainty of Jorginho's presence, Flamengo continues preparation for the clash with Grêmio. The game takes place at 4 pm (Brasília time) this Sunday (31), for the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship. Thus, as tradition dictates, the Coluna do Fla will bring the best coverage on the internet, through YouTube, the website and social networks.
