Which player did Filipe Luís select for the game against Estudiantes (ARG)?

Flamengo takes the field this Thursday (25) to face Estudiantes (ARG), for the return of the quarterfinals of the Libertadores. In the 'decision', coach Filipe Luís will have striker Juninho available.

However, for this Thursday's (25) clash, coach Filipe Luís selected all the athletes he had available. Thus, Juninho traveled with the rubro-negro squad to Argentina. The player, in fact, trained normally with his teammates at Defensa y Justicia's CT (ARG), on Wednesday (24).

While Juninho is back, coach Filipe Luís has two dropouts for the decision with Estudiantes. Starting with Erick Pulgar, who continues to respect the return schedule to the fields after surgery on the fifth metatarsal of his right foot.

Erick Pulgar is in the final stage of recovery and will soon be released to train with his teammates. Finally, Michael is ruled out due to pain in his left ankle.
