Léo Pereira, Viña and more: Flamengo squad update before Cruzeiro | OneFootball

Flamengo and Cruzeiro face off on Thursday (02) in the Brasileirão

Flamengo began preparations this Tuesday (30) for the clash against Cruzeiro. The match will take place on Thursday (02), at 8:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the 26th round of the Brasileirão.

After the victory over Corinthians last Sunday (28), the medical department became the ‘center of attention’. Before and during the match, players experienced physical issues. The situation, however, seems to be under control.

HOW ARE THE PLAYERS?

According to information from Coluna do Fla, Flamengo did not identify any serious cases within the squad. Léo Pereira, who was substituted due to pain in his right foot, trained normally. Viña, who had a stomach upset, also participated in the activities.

Michael, who recovered from pain in his left ankle, returned to training with the ball. In summary, the coaching staff is monitoring the returns with caution.

WHEN WILL ERICK RETURN TO THE FIELD?

Erick Pulgar is undergoing transition work after an injury to the fifth metatarsal of his right foot. The expectation is that the midfielder will be available after the FIFA break, between October 6 and 14. This period will be used for physical and technical adjustments.

AND THE NEXT GAME?

Meanwhile, the squad remains fully focused on the match against Cruzeiro. The red-and-black team is looking to keep up the momentum and stay in the isolated lead. The game will be broadcast on the Premiere channel (pay-per-view).
