Flamengo suffer late blow before Vitória clash | OneFootball

Which Flamengo player is out of the match against Vitória?

Flamengo announced this Thursday (13) that Gonzalo Plata is out of the clash against Vitória this Thursday (14). That is because the Ecuadorian forward felt knee pain during the match against Grêmio on Sunday (10).

See Flamengo’s statement:

Is Plata already undergoing treatment at Flamengo?

Minutes before the club’s statement, Plata posted a photo on his own Instagram profile to show part of the treatment. In the image, the player was at the Ninho do Urubu training center with his knee wrapped in ice while listening to a motivational song.

How did Plata get injured?

Flamengo dominated Grêmio in Porto Alegre. As a result, Grêmio’s players resorted to repeated fouls to try to stop Flamengo’s attacking flow. Thus, Ayrton Lucas and Gonzalo Plata were two of the players hit.

Who should replace Plata?

The most obvious option for Leonardo Jardim is to use Luiz Araújo in place of the injured forward. However, the coach also has Bruno Henrique, Samuel Lino and Everton Cebolinha available, who are naturally left wingers but can also be used on the other side.

What time is Flamengo vs Vitória?

Without Gonzalo Plata, Flamengo face Vitória this Thursday (14). Kickoff is at 9:30 p.m. Brasília time at Barradão, in the second leg of the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil.

Therefore, Coluna do Fla will provide full coverage on the website, YouTube, and other social media platforms. However, the broadcast of the Copa do Brasil match will be on Premiere (pay-per-view) and SporTV (subscription channel).
