Ninho do Urubu Graduate Suffered Penalty in the Match Between Roma (ITA) and Napoli (ITA)

Right-back Wesley, a product of Flamengo’s youth academy, had to be carried off the field on Sunday (15). This happened because the Roma (ITA) player suffered a penalty committed by Napoli (ITA) defender Amir Rrahmani. Thus, the former Flamengo player suffered trauma to his left ankle, but reassured fans.

“Thank God, nothing serious, thank you all for the messages,” Wesley highlighted in a caption posted on Instagram the day after the match. However, the Italian team’s wingback did not provide details about his recovery time.

Did Roma Beat Napoli?

The Ninho do Urubu graduate played 72 minutes in the 2-2 draw between Roma and Napoli, in the 25th round of the Italian Championship. Thus, the young Brazilian’s team reached 47 points in fourth place, while their opponent has 50 in third.

Is Wesley Doing Well in Europe?

Coach Gasperini considers the Brazilian an undisputed starter. Furthermore, when the athlete does not play in his original position, the coach fields him at left-back, as was the case in Sunday’s match (15).

In addition to being a starter, the academy product frequently delivers good performances. Thus, the Brazilian has been linked to Manchester City (ENG), whose manager is Pep Guardiola. According to the portal ‘Team Talk’, the English club intends to pay 50 million pounds (R$ 310 million at the current exchange rate).

How is Flamengo Doing Without Wesley?

With Varela and Royal at right-back, Flamengo heads into the first match of the Recopa Sudamericana. Furthermore, this Thursday (19), Filipe Luís’s squad will visit Lanús (ARG) at the Néstor Díaz Pérez Stadium, starting at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time).

So, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Flamengo and Lanús through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, ESPN (pay TV) and Disney+ (streaming) will broadcast the Recopa match.
