Enrique's latest injury update from Flamengo: Expected to miss the rest of the season due to an ankle injury.
Flamengo forward, Enrique, has suffered an ankle injury and is expected to be out for the remainder of the season. The Brazilian club released a statement on Wednesday confirming that the striker will undergo surgery to repair his ankle ligament.
The 29-year-old Enrique was already struggling with injuries before this one, having missed several games earlier in the season due to various ailments. However, the latest setback means he will be unable to play again until at least the end of the year.
Flamengo coach, Jorge Jesus, expressed disappointment at the news but also praised Enrique's professionalism during his time at the club. "We're going to have to wait and see how long he'll be out,Ligue 1 Focus" he said. "But we're confident that he'll make a full recovery."
Enrique has been a key player for Flamengo this season, scoring 14 goals in all competitions. He has also played a crucial role in the team's bid for the Copa Libertadores title, which they are currently leading.
The loss of Enrique will undoubtedly be a big blow for Flamengo, who were already facing a tough run-in to secure their place in next year's competition. They will now need to find a replacement striker if they want to keep their hopes alive.
Despite the setback, Enrique remains optimistic about his future and is hoping to recover quickly so that he can return to the pitch as soon as possible. He knows that it won't be easy, but he is determined to do everything he can to help his team reach its goal.
