De La Cruz set to be rested for Flamengo v Chapecoense | OneFootball

Uruguayan does not play on synthetic turf

De La Cruz is expected to miss Flamengo’s match against Chapecoense this Wednesday (22), in the 19th round of the Brazilian Championship. That is because the Uruguayan midfielder usually does not play on synthetic turf, as is the case at Arena Condá.

It is worth noting that De La Cruz is not injured and has been training normally at Ninho do Urubu. However, the player usually does not play on artificial surfaces because of a chronic knee issue. Therefore, Leonardo Jardim is expected to choose not to include the Uruguayan in the squad for the trip.

When does Flamengo travel?

As the match against Chapecoense will be at Arena Condá, in Chapecó, the Flamengo delegation will travel to Santa Catarina on the afternoon of this Tuesday (21). According to the club’s schedule, Flamengo’s flight is set for 2:30 p.m. (Brasília time).

Before that, however, Leonardo Jardim will make the final call on De La Cruz and other players. That is because Flamengo’s squad will train at 10 a.m. (Brasília time) this Tuesday (21), at Ninho do Urubu. Thus, at the training center, the Flamengo coach will define the list of players called up for the match.

Does Flamengo have any absences?

At the moment, the only Flamengo players sidelined in the Medical Department are Lucas Paquetá and Luiz Araújo. While the midfielder is undergoing physiotherapy and doing strength exercises in the gym, the forward is dealing with a left knee injury. Finally, Léo Ortiz is in the transition phase before being cleared to play, but he is still not expected to be available this Wednesday (22).

What are the details of the Flamengo vs. Chapecoense match?

It is worth noting that Flamengo returns to official action this Wednesday (22). On that occasion, the Rubro-Negro side will face Chapecoense at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), in a match valid for the 19th round of the Brazilian Championship. In addition, the clash will be played away from home, at Arena Condá.

Finally, the Flamengo vs. Chapecoense match will be broadcast live by Rede Globo on free-to-air TV. In addition, Premiere will also show the match via pay-per-view. Coluna do Fla, in turn, will follow every detail of Flamengo on its website, social media, and YouTube channel.
