Alex Sandro’s absence due to injury puts more pressure on Ayrton Lucas, since they are Flamengo’s only left backs. However, the experienced player has still not recovered from his muscle injury and will miss the match against Santos this Sunday (05).
Therefore, the veteran will miss Mais Querido’s second straight match. As a result, Leonardo Jardim is expected to start the number 6 for the second time this season. The information comes from Venê Casagrande.
In the 35-year-old player’s absence, the wing-back delivered a poor performance against Red Bull Bragantino in the ninth round of the Brasileirão. The Flamengo full-back did not make a single tackle, was dribbled past once, and failed to send any crosses into the box.
Alex Sandro’s muscle injury led to his withdrawal from the Brazil national team squad in the final week of March. However, Mais Querido has not given an estimated return date for the player to leave the medical department.
Without Alex Sandro, the match between Flamengo and Santos is scheduled for this Sunday (05). Kickoff is at 5:30 PM Brasília time at the Maracanã, in the 10th round of the Brasileirão.
As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Flamengo and Santos through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (free-to-air TV), GE TV (YouTube), and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the match.
