Flamengo push to clear treatment room before Vitória visit | OneFootball

Flamengo are striving to clear the treatment room during a free week, aiming to have the squad available. The team do not play again until Sunday nine.

According to Coluna Do Fla, work behind the scenes at Ninho do Urubu is centred on returning players to full fitness.

De La Cruz has no injury and made himself available to Leonardo Jardim after the World Cup. He was held back from some matches due to minor discomfort in the front of his thigh and caution over synthetic pitches, which leave his knee sore.

Léo Ortiz has recovered from a muscle problem and is cleared to play. His comeback was delayed because he felt pain and a lack of confidence at stages of rehabilitation, which pushed back his return.

Plata has oedema around the pes anserinus of the knee, with serious injury ruled out. He is following his programme and has a strong chance of featuring in Flamengo’s next match.

Léo Pereira sustained a mild knee contusion after being caught by an Internacional player’s boot on Wednesday 29. Following treatment and a good response, he is now training normally with the squad.

Luiz Araújo began physiotherapy on Saturday one and is already undergoing tests after a knee injury. If his progress continues, the staff hope to have him for the Libertadores tie with Cruzeiro on 12 August.

Flamengo host Vitória at the Maracanã on Sunday nine, kick-off 19:30 Brasília time, in the 22nd round of the Brasileirão.
