Plata is out of the first leg of the Recopa because he will serve the last game of his suspension due to the red card he received in the semifinal against Racing (ARG), during the Libertadores semifinal. After this Thursday’s (19) match, the forward will be available again for Flamengo in the return leg against Racing, on February 26, at Maracanã.
