Left-back Alex Sandro returns to the starting lineup after five games out due to a calf injury

Returning to the starting lineup after five games, left-back Alex Sandro highlighted the pressure that Flamengo is experiencing this Thursday (25). This is because Filipe Luís's team is about to face Estudiantes de La Plata (ARG), at the UNO Stadium, starting at 9:30 PM (Brasília time).

— We know the importance of the duel. From my point of view, we won the first leg, and we would have liked a more substantial result. But we came here to win, and that's what we'll do. If it were up to me, I would always play the second match with an advantage -, highlighted Alex Sandro to add that:

— We know the advantage we have, but we cannot get comfortable. We came to do our best, which is always to enter the stadium to win -, stated the left-back, who had a calf injury at the end of August.

Why are Flamengo and Estudiantes facing each other?
