Flamengo get nearly 10 days off thanks to the FIFA break | OneFootball

Filipe Luís will use the FIFA break to rest and prepare the players for the rest of the season

Flamengo lost to Bahia 1-0 last Sunday (05), in a match valid for the 27th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. After the match, the Most Beloved will have almost ten days without games due to the FIFA break.

This is because Flamengo played on Sunday (05) and will only return to action on October 15. On that occasion, the Most Beloved will face Botafogo in the 28th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro, at Engenhão.

Until then, however, Flamengo will focus on resting, recovering worn-out players, and preparing the squad for the rest of the season, including a decisive match in the Libertadores and a direct clash in the Brasileirão.

Did Flamengo have any players called up for this FIFA break?

For the October FIFA break, Flamengo did not have any players called up by any national teams. Therefore, Filipe Luís will have all athletes available for the recovery and preparation period.

It’s worth noting that the Medical Department of Flamengo reached an agreement with the Brazilian, Uruguayan, Ecuadorian, and Colombian national teams not to call up a series of players. Among them are: Arrascaeta, Varela, De La Cruz, Viña, Plata and Carrascal, for example.

According to a report by Coluna do Fla, the Medical Department of Flamengo sent documents to the national teams proving how tired and worn out the athletes are. As a result, the teams decided not to force the call-up of any Flamengo players.

When is Flamengo’s next match?

In summary, Flamengo will only return to the field on October 15, when they face Botafogo in the 28th round of the Brasileirão. The derby will take place at Engenhão, at 7:30 pm (Brasília time). The match will be broadcast live on Premiere, via pay-per-view.
