By: Rodrigo Lima

Midfielder Lucas Paquetá is racing against time to be able to play for Flamengo. Even though he has missed the Rubro-Negro’s last matches, the player has been following a ‘special schedule’ at Ninho do Urubu.

Paquetá is not part of the squad that traveled to Colombia focused on the clash with Independiente Medellín (COL). However, anyone who thinks the Ninho graduate is taking time off would be mistaken.

According to reporting by Coluna do Fla, Lucas Paquetá is continuing the recovery process from edema in the tendon of his right thigh. This Tuesday (06), in fact, he was at the Ninho do Urubu training center doing activities under the supervision of the club’s physiology department.

At the moment, Lucas Paquetá is in the final stage of recovery. That is because the player is already doing specific activities on the pitch. Given this situation, expectations are growing that the player will return for Flamengo in the match against Vitória on May 14 (Thursday), in the second leg of the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil.

WHAT HAPPENED TO LUCAS PAQUETÁ?

Lucas Paquetá has been unavailable for Flamengo since the match against Bahia due to severe pain in his right leg. After undergoing medical tests, he was diagnosed with edema in the area.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH?

Still without Lucas Paquetá, Flamengo return to the pitch this Thursday (07) to face Independiente Medellín in the fourth round of the Libertadores group stage. In short, the match kicks off at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Atanasio Girardot Stadium in Colombia.

As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will show the details of the match with on-site coverage from Mônica Alves and Simon Lédo on YouTube, as well as on the website and social media. Finally, ESPN (pay TV) and Disney+ (streaming) will broadcast the match.
