In addition, Erick Pulgar is continuing treatment for a shoulder injury, while Lucas Paquetá is being treated for swelling in the tendon of his left thigh.

Will Flamengo finish their preparation in Colombia?

Yes! The Flamengo squad will travel to Colombia on Tuesday afternoon (05). However, Leonardo Jardim will only wrap up preparation of the red-and-black squad for the match against Independiente Medellín on Wednesday (06).

That means Flamengo will complete their preparation for the Libertadores match in Colombia, where they will use Atlético Nacional’s training center. Therefore, on Wednesday (06), the Most Beloved are scheduled to train starting at 4:00 p.m. (Brasília time).

What are the details of the Flamengo vs Independiente Medellín match?

This Thursday (07), Flamengo will face Independiente Medellín in the fourth round of the South American competition’s group stage. The match will take place at Atanasio Girardot Stadium in Colombia, starting at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time).

The Flamengo vs Independiente Medellín match will be broadcast live on ESPN, on pay TV, as well as on Disney+ Premium via streaming. However, Coluna do Fla, directly from Colombia, will follow all the latest information about the Most Beloved on the website, social media and the YouTube channel.

And after that?

It is worth noting that, according to reporting by Coluna do Fla, the initial idea is for the squad list for the match against Independiente Medellín to also be used for the clash with Grêmio. However, some players may join the red-and-black delegation in Porto Alegre.

This is because the Flamengo squad will not return to Rio de Janeiro after the match in Colombia. Already in Porto Alegre, the red-and-black squad will train at Internacional’s training center on Friday (08) and Saturday (09). Finally, on Sunday (10), the Most Beloved will face Grêmio at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time) in the Brasileirão.
