Bruno Henrique latest after ankle stamp v Cruzeiro in Libertadores | OneFootball

Flamengo’s next two training sessions will define Bruno Henrique’s future

Flamengo crushed Mirassol 5-1 last Sunday (16), in the 23rd round of the Brasileirão. Now, the Rubro-Negro turns its attention to the Copa Libertadores decider. For the match against Cruzeiro, the team is expected to have Bruno Henrique back.

In short, on the morning of this Monday (17), Bruno Henrique took part in a specific training session for those who did not travel for the match against Mirassol. Thus, according to reporting by Coluna do Fla, there is a strong chance that the number 27 will be available on Wednesday (19).

It is important to note that this Tuesday’s (18) training session will be decisive for Leonardo Jardim to determine whether or not Bruno Henrique will be included in the squad for the game against Cruzeiro. The session is scheduled for 4:00 p.m. (Brasília time). On Wednesday (19), Fla will hold an activation training session at 11:00 a.m. (Brasília time).

What happened?

In the 11th minute of the first half of the first leg of the Libertadores round of 16, Matheus Henrique planted his studs into Bruno Henrique’s shin. However, Yael Falcón showed only a yellow card to the Cruzeiro player. In addition, VAR did not call the referee for a review, keeping the on-field decision.

After the match, Flamengo confirmed that there was no injury, but Bruno Henrique was left out of the game against Mirassol. That was because, due to ankle pain, Fla’s number 27 was left out of the clash to preserve him, with the aim of having the player at 100% for the return leg against Cruzeiro.

What are the details of Flamengo’s next match?

Now, Flamengo turns its focus to the Copa Libertadores. On Wednesday (19), the Rubro-Negro faces Cruzeiro in the second leg of the round of 16 of the South American tournament. The match kicks off at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at the Maracanã.

It is important to highlight that, in the first leg at Mineirão, Flamengo and Cruzeiro drew 1-1. This means the Rubro-Negro hosts the Minas Gerais side at the Maracanã with everything still wide open. In addition, Leonardo Jardim’s team comes into the match riding high and full of confidence after the big win in the Brasileirão.
