Finally, the flight to Peru is scheduled for 9:45 p.m. (Brasília time) this Tuesday (07). It is worth noting that, before heading to Peru, Leonardo Jardim will already have an outline of the starting lineup to face Cusco.
Yes! That is because Jorginho and Erick Pulgar are injured and were not included in the squad for the match against Cusco. In short, the Brazilian midfielder suffered a muscle injury in his left calf. Meanwhile, the Chilean has a shoulder injury. In addition to them, Saúl is still recovering from ankle surgery.
Finally, Flamengo are focused on their Libertadores debut. This Wednesday (08), the Mengão face Cusco (PER) in the first round of the continental tournament’s group stage. The match takes place at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Estadio Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, in Peru.
