Flamengo hold penultimate session before Vitória clash in Brasileirão | OneFootball

Leonardo Jardim steps up Flamengo’s preparations for the next Brazilian Championship match

Flamengo drew 1-1 with Internacional on July 29 in the 21st round of the Brazilian Championship. With another match coming up next Sunday (09), Fla is entering the final stretch of preparation for the game against Vitória.

In short, on Monday (03), Flamengo’s squad returned to training at Ninho do Urubu. Now, this Friday (07), Leonardo Jardim will lead the team’s penultimate training session ahead of the next Brazilian Championship match, scheduled for Sunday (09).

According to Flamengo’s schedule, the Rubro-Negro squad is set to train at 10 a.m. (Brasília time) this Friday (07). In addition, Mais Querido will have one more day to focus on training before the clash with Vitória.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

It is worth remembering that, because of the Copa do Brasil round of 16, Flamengo will have a total of ten days until its next Brazilian Championship fixture. That is because Rubro-Negro was eliminated from the knockout competition and is now focusing on the Brasileirão and the Libertadores.

In the meantime, Flamengo returns to the field on Sunday (09) to face Vitória in the 22nd round of the Brasileirão. The match is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã. Finally, SporTV, on subscription TV, and Premiere, via pay-per-view, will broadcast the match.

Should Flamengo have any new developments?

Yes! That is because Lucas Paquetá has recovered from injury and, last Monday (03), held a press conference talking about his return to the pitch for Flamengo. As a result, Leonardo Jardim will have a major reinforcement at this important stage of the Brasileirão, as well as for the Libertadores showdown in the coming weeks.

In addition, forward Gonzalo Plata and winger Luiz Araújo are still in the process of returning to the pitch in training. Therefore, there is also an expectation that both players will return against Cruzeiro next Wednesday (12). Finally, center-back Léo Pereira began treatment after feeling pain in his foot against Internacional.

What is Fla’s situation in the standings?

After Flamengo’s 1-1 draw with Internacional, combined with Palmeiras’ victory over Vitória, Leonardo Jardim’s team’s situation became complicated. While the São Paulo side has 47 points, Fla is in second place with 39.
