Jardim cancels Flamengo training to give squad brief rest before Brasileirão and Libertadores tests | OneFootball

Flamengo beat Mirassol 2-0 at the Maracanã on Wednesday 02, then Leonardo Jardim adjusted the schedule, giving his players a brief breather before a demanding run.

According to Coluna Do Fla, Thursday 03 training was cancelled, with the squad to report back on Friday 04 to begin preparations for the next assignment.

Recent outings have been intense, with heavy physical output, and the coming days bring long travel and decisive fixtures, which underpins Jardim's decision to prioritise recovery. The pause is short, but it could help the group hit the next tests in better shape.

On Saturday 05 the delegation travel to Belém to face Remo in the 26th round of the Brasileirão, a match that could affect the leadership of the competition.

The following day the team train in Belém, then fly to Ecuador. In Quito, Flamengo meet Independiente del Valle (EQU) in the first leg of the Libertadores quarter-finals, chasing a first-leg advantage in the push for a semi-final place.
