Flamengo ‘pick up’ a doubt for Fluminense clash in the Brasileirão | OneFootball

Who is Flamengo doubtful over for the match against Fluminense?

Flamengo continue their preparations to face Fluminense this Sunday (12), in the 11th round of the Brasileirão. While overseeing training sessions, coach Leonardo Jardim is still uncertain about one player’s availability for the derby: De La Cruz.

After starting in the 2-0 win over Cusco (PER) in Peru on Wednesday (08), De La Cruz will be reassessed by the club’s medical department this Friday (10). In other words, the Uruguayan’s presence in the derby will depend on the physical condition he shows after the match at altitude.

Is Flamengo taking special care with De La Cruz?

It is worth noting that Flamengo have been taking special care with De La Cruz, who has a chronic knee issue. As a result, the Uruguayan regularly undergoes workload management and, because of that, his inclusion in the squad for the match against Fluminense is still not certain.

Does Flamengo have midfield problems?

Flamengo currently have three important absences in midfield. Saúl is recovering after heel surgery, while Pulgar suffered an injury to the acromioclavicular joint in his right shoulder. Lastly, Jorginho is being treated for a muscle injury in his left calf.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Still without certainty over De La Cruz’s availability, Flamengo now turn their focus back to the Brasileirão. This Sunday (12), the Rubro-Negro face Fluminense at 6pm (Brasília time) at the Maracanã, in the 11th round of the league.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Flamengo and Fluminense through YouTube, the website and social media. However, Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Brasileirão derby.
