Gonzalo Plata ‘to land’ in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday after Dynamo Moscow medical failure | OneFootball

Gonzalo Plata will land in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday, returning to Flamengo after failing a medical at Dynamo Moscow. His move to Europe has collapsed as a result.

According to Coluna Do Fla, the Ecuador forward flies on Saturday and arrives the following day. He had travelled to Russia to sign for Dynamo, but the deal was halted after the club’s medical.

Flamengo miss out on R$ 60 million, rising to R$ 72 million with bonuses. Botafogo were also affected, as Dynamo similarly rejected Matheus Martin.

Plata’s return coincides with Flamengo’s meeting with Remo in the 26th round at the Mangueirão in Belém do Pará, kick-off 16:00 Brasília time, so the squad will be away when he lands.

He is expected to resume work at CT Ninho do Urubu soon after, and will rejoin the group separately.

Earlier on Friday, it had been stated he would arrive that day, so this updated timing pushes back the planned return.

Dynamo cited patellar tendon tendinopathy in their assessment, then refused to send the test results to Flamengo, who said they would pursue legal action.

There is no timetable for his next appearance, with the club handling the matter cautiously.
