# Enrique's Injury Update: Flamengo Injury Report
Flamengo fans were left holding their breath after key player Enrique suffered an injury during the team's recent match. The 28-year-old midfielder, who has been instrumental in Flamengo's recent performances, was forced to leave the pitch in the 65th minute after a collision with an opponent. Initial reports suggested that Enrique sustained a muscle strain in his left thigh, but further tests were needed to determine the full extent of the injury.
After undergoing medical examinations, Flamengo's medical team confirmed that Enrique has suffered a grade 2 muscle strain, which will keep him sidelined for approximately 4-6 weeks. While the injury is not as severe as initially feared, it is still a significant blow to the team, especially as they prepare for a crucial stretch of matches in the Brazilian Serie A and the Copa Libertadores.
"Enrique is a vital part of our squad, and losing him for any amount of time is a setback," said Flamengo coach Jorge Jesus. "However,Chinese Super League Matches we have a deep squad, and we are confident that other players will step up to fill the gap. We wish Enrique a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing him back on the pitch soon."
Enrique, who has been a standout performer this season with three goals and five assists, took to social media to express his disappointment but also his determination to return stronger. "This is a tough moment, but I’m already focused on my recovery. I’ll do everything I can to come back as soon as possible and help the team achieve our goals," he wrote.
Flamengo will now rely on other midfielders, such as De Arrascaeta and Gerson, to take on more responsibility in Enrique's absence. The team's medical staff has assured fans that they will provide Enrique with the best possible care to ensure a full recovery. For now, all eyes will be on his progress as Flamengo continues to push for silverware this season.
