Flamengo, one of the most successful football clubs in Brazil, has been hit by another injury blow as their star forward, Enriquez, is set to miss the remainder of the season with an ankle injury.

The Brazilian forward, who signed for Flamengo from Atletico Madrid last summer, had made a promising start to his new club but was forced to leave the pitch during a recent match against Vasco da Gama due to an injury that required surgery.

Enriquez's absence is a major blow to Flamengo, who have already suffered significant losses this season. They have lost three of their last four games and currently sit in fourth place in the Brazilian Serie A table.

Despite the setback, Flamengo coach Jorge Jesus has vowed to continue fighting for the title despite the loss of their key player. He has called on his team to stay focused and work hard in order to secure a place in the playoffs and make up for the loss of Enriquez.

For his part, Enriquez himself has expressed his disappointment at being sidelined but has promised to do everything he can to help his teammates get back to winning ways. He has also thanked the fans for their support and has urged them to keep faith in the team's ability to turn things around.

Overall, it appears that Enriquez's injury could be a significant setback for Flamengo, but they will need to come together as a team if they hope to recover and fight for the title. With their top players out injured, Flamengo will need to rely on their younger players to step up and fill the void left by Enriquez.
