Filipe Luís back in Flamengo training as eight players miss out | OneFootball

In addition to the six called up, Flamengo has two other injured players

The Flamengo squad returns to training on Friday afternoon (05), at Ninho do Urubu. However, Filipe Luís resumes activities with the Red and Black with eight absences in the squad. Among them are injured players, but also those called up for the FIFA International Break.

In summary, Flamengo had six players called up to play in the September FIFA International Break. As a result, these players will miss Filipe Luís' training sessions in the coming days. This is because Carlo Ancelotti called up Samuel Lino to play for the Brazilian National Team. On the other hand, Gonzalo Plata represents Ecuador, while Jorge Carrascal plays for Colombia. Finally, Arrascaeta, Viña, and Varela play for Uruguay.

And what about the other absences?

In addition to the players called up for the FIFA International Break, Filipe Luís will also be missing two other injured athletes: Alex Sandro and Erick Pulgar. While the full-back is treating a muscle injury in his left calf, the midfielder is still recovering from surgery on the fifth metatarsal of his right foot.

In fact, the expectation of Filipe Luís and the entire Flamengo coaching staff is to recover both Alex Sandro and Erick Pulgar during the FIFA International Break. That way, the idea is to clear out the Medical Department to play the rest of the season without any absences.

And when does the FIFA International Break end?

The September FIFA International Break has matches until the 9th. With that, the called-up players should return to the club on the 10th of the same month. Nevertheless, Flamengo may implement a special plan for the athletes to return without suffering any kind of fatigue.

When is Flamengo's next match?

Finally, Flamengo's next match is only on September 14, when the Red and Black face Juventude. The teams will face off in a match valid for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão, starting at 4pm (Brasília time), at Estádio Alfredo Jaconi, in Rio Grande do Sul.
