Flamengo vs Coritiba will be the last match before the World Cup break

Flamengo beat Cusco (PER) 3-0 on Tuesday (26) in a match valid for the sixth and final round of the Libertadores group stage. After the match, this Wednesday (27), the Rubro-Negro squad was given the day off.

In short, according to reporting by Coluna do Fla, the Flamengo squad returns to training on Thursday (28). The team’s focus, of course, is Flamengo’s final Brasileirão match before the World Cup break.

It is important to mention that Flamengo faced Cusco having already qualified for the round of 16 of the Libertadores. Despite struggling to open the scoring, the Most Beloved did not give up and, in the final ten minutes of the match, scored three goals: two by Bruno Henrique and one by Lucas Paquetá.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

It is worth noting that Flamengo returns to the field this Saturday (30) to face Coritiba at the Maracanã. The match will therefore take place at 4:00 PM (Brasília time), valid for the 18th round of the Brasileirão. Finally, the clash will be broadcast live on SporTV, on subscription TV, as well as on Premiere, on pay-per-view.

For the match against Coritiba, Flamengo will have a number of absences. Nine of them, in fact, are due to players being called up for the World Cup. In addition to those selected, Jorginho fractured a toe against Palmeiras and is also out of Saturday’s (30) match.

Because of the long list of absences, Flamengo even asked the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) to postpone the match against Coritiba. However, the entity did not grant the Most Beloved’s request and kept the match scheduled for Saturday (30).
