Flamengo, Del Valle absentees and suspension risks for decider | OneFootball

Check out the information on Flamengo and Del Valle (ECU) absences and players at risk of suspension for the Libertadores

Flamengo take the field this Thursday (17) to face Independiente del Valle (ECU) in the second leg of the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals. With an eye on the clash, Coluna do Fla brings the information on absences and players at risk of suspension from both teams for the match, which kicks off at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã.

On Flamengo’s side, coach Leonardo Jardim has only one absentee: Evertton Araújo. The midfielder is still undergoing treatment for a serious muscle injury. Therefore, the player is not fit to take the field this Thursday (17). In fact, there is still no set timetable for his recovery.

Does Flamengo have a player at risk of suspension?

Flamengo are also keeping a close eye on Luiz Araújo’s situation, as the forward is one booking away from suspension. That means if he receives a yellow card later today, he will be unavailable should the team advance to the Libertadores semifinals.

What are Del Valle’s absences?

Independiente del Valle also have absences for the decisive clash. Charli González, Jean Arroyo and Cazares are the confirmed absentees for the Ecuadorian side. However, even with those absences, the team comes in riding a strong overall run this season. Away from home, Del Valle have also tended to trouble their opponents throughout the year. As a result, Flamengo are avoiding any overconfidence ahead of this Thursday’s (17) showdown.

How do Flamengo and Del Valle come into the Libertadores match?

With the advantage built in the first leg, Flamengo can lose by up to one goal and still advance to the semifinals of the continental competition. Del Valle, meanwhile, need a two-goal win to force a penalty shootout. There is no away-goals rule at this stage of the Libertadores. Therefore, any tie on aggregate will also send the matchup to penalties.

Where to watch Flamengo vs. Del Valle in the Libertadores?

The ball rolls this Thursday (17) at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã, in the second leg of the Libertadores quarterfinals. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will bring all the details of the match with on-site coverage from Rodrigo Lima, Rock Hudson and Simon Lédo. Full coverage will also be available on YouTube, on the website and across social media. Finally, ESPN on pay TV and Disney+ via streaming will broadcast the clash.
