Bruno Henrique to be reassessed at Flamengo's training ground on Friday | OneFootball

Bruno Henrique feels pain in his foot after being stepped on in a Libertadores match

Flamengo begins preparations for the derby against Vasco when the squad returns to training this Friday (01). At the training center, Bruno Henrique will be re-evaluated by the club’s medical staff. That is because the number 27 suffered trauma to his right foot during the 1-1 draw with Estudiantes (ARG) on Wednesday (29).

According to information obtained by Coluna do Fla, Bruno Henrique did not suffer a fracture in the area, but he is still feeling significant pain in his foot. Given the situation, Flamengo’s Medical Department will re-evaluate the number 27 when the team returns, which takes place this Friday (01) at Ninho do Urubu.

What happened to Flamengo’s captain?

In short, the play that resulted in the trauma to Bruno Henrique’s right foot happened in the second half of the Libertadores match in Argentina. On that occasion, Tomás Palacios went in high and landed a heavy blow on the number 27. Even given the seriousness of the incident, referee Piero Maza did not even show a card to the player from the Argentine side.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Still not knowing whether they will be able to count on Bruno Henrique, Flamengo is preparing to return to the pitch on Sunday (03), when they face Vasco. The derby kicks off at 4:00 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã, in the 14th round of the Brazilian Championship.
