Holidays over! Flamengo reveal squad return at Ninho do Urubu | OneFootball

Flamengo players return to training this Friday (19)

The break is over! This Friday (19), part of the Flamengo squad returns to training, with an eye on the second half of the season. The players are set to report at 10 a.m. (Brasília time) at the George Helal Training Center, known as Ninho do Urubu.

In addition to the first post-vacation training session, Flamengo also announced the dates and times of the next training sessions. The squad will return to the training center again on Saturday (20) and Sunday (21), also at 10 a.m. (Brasília time). The information was released by the club itself on Thursday night (18).

The group has been on vacation since May 31. One day earlier, Flamengo beat Coritiba 3-0 at the Maracanã in the 18th round of the Brasileirão. With the result, Mengão moved up to 34 points, sitting in second place, seven behind Palmeiras, who have played one more match.

WILL THE ENTIRE SQUAD BE PRESENT FOR THE RETURN?

It is worth noting that Flamengo will have some ‘absences’ for this Friday’s return (19). That is because nine Rubro-Negro players are playing in the World Cup in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. The return of those players is directly tied to how their national teams perform in the tournament.

As a result, the Brazilians Danilo, Alex Sandro, Léo Pereira and Lucas Paquetá will not be at Ninho do Urubu. Also unavailable are the Uruguayans Arrascaeta, De La Cruz and Varela. In addition, Ecuadorian Gonzalo Plata and Colombian Jorge Carrascal are also at the World Cup.

HOW DID PEDRO REACT TO THE END OF HIS VACATION?

Much of the squad used the break to rest, traveling to other countries. Striker Pedro, for example, spent a few days in Paris, France; London, England; and other places in Europe. On his way back home, the No. 9 joked about the situation.

“Back home, duty calls (laughs). There’s nothing better than coming back home,” the scorer wrote. In addition, Pedro posted a photo with his family on the plane returning to Brazil and, once back in Rio de Janeiro, showed a classic barbecue he was preparing.

WHEN WILL FLAMENGO PLAY AGAIN?

Flamengo will have more than a month to train. After all, the team will only return to action in the week of July 22, against Chapecoense, at Arena Condá, in Chapecó do Sul-SC. However, the time and date of the match have not yet been announced by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF).
