Flamengo and Independiente del Valle (ECU) face off this Thursday (17) in the second leg of the Libertadores quarterfinals

Flamengo take on Independiente del Valle (ECU) in the second leg of the Copa Libertadores da América quarterfinals at 9:30 p.m. this Thursday (17), at the Maracanã. Before the match, the club in red and black released the list of called-up players.

WHICH PLAYERS WERE CALLED UP BY FLAMENGO?

Alex Sandro, Andrew, Ayrton Lucas, B. Henrique, Carrascal, Danilo, De Arrascaeta, De La Cruz, Dyogo Alves, E. Royal, Erick, Freitas, G. Varela, Jorginho, L. Araújo, L. Ortiz, L. Paquetá, Léo Pereira, Pedro, Plata, Rossi, S. Lino, Saúl, Vitão.

For the home match, coach Leonardo Jardim has only one absence to deal with. Defensive midfielder Evertton Araújo suffered a serious injury to the adductor muscle in his left thigh. As a result, the youngster is only expected to return in November.

IS LÉO PEREIRA BACK?

After the first leg of the quarterfinals last Thursday (10), Léo Pereira felt muscle discomfort and was left out as a precaution for the match against Corinthians on Sunday (13) in the Brasileirão.

However, the good news is that the center back trained normally over the last few days. Therefore, he is available as an option for coach Leonardo Jardim in this hugely important clash on Thursday (17).

WHAT TIME DOES THE BALL ROLL FOR FLAMENGO'S MATCH?

Flamengo and Independiente del Valle face off at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) this Thursday (17). The ball will roll at the Maracanã in the second leg of the Libertadores quarterfinals, and the clash marks another chapter in Flamengo’s journey.

Having won the first leg 2-0, the Rubro-Negro can even lose by one goal and still advance to the semifinals. On the other hand, a tie on aggregate will send the decision to penalties.

If Mengão is on the field, Coluna do Fla keeps Flamengo fans informed about every detail of the matches through the website and social media. In addition, ESPN (cable TV) and Disney+ (streaming) will broadcast the clash.
