Flamengo train in Lima for final amid defensive doubts | OneFootball

Flamengo held its first training session in Lima this Thursday ahead of the Copa Libertadores final against Palmeiras. The match is scheduled for Saturday at 6 p.m. (Brasília time), at the Estadio Monumental.

At the Peruvian national team’s training center, the players began their session in the gym with physical exercises. Afterwards, they went out onto the field to warm up and then moved on to ball work.

Hampered by an ankle injury, defender Léo Ortiz remains doubtful and, if he is unable to play, will likely be replaced by Danilo. Meanwhile, forwards Plata (suspended) and Pedro (injured) will be unavailable.

Flamengo comes into the final after a 1-1 draw with Atlético-MG, which postponed their Brazilian Championship title. Since Palmeiras was defeated by Grêmio, a win for the Rio team would secure the title with two rounds to spare.
