Leonardo Jardim gets boost for Flamengo v Independiente Medellín | OneFootball

What boost will Leonardo Jardim have for the match against Independiente Medellín (COL)?

The Flamengo squad flew to Colombia on Tuesday afternoon (05), where they will face Independiente Medellín (COL) in the Libertadores. For this clash, scheduled for 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) on Thursday (07), head coach Leonardo Jardim will have Jorge Carrascal back.

Carrascal had been on something of a ‘rotating break’ in Flamengo matches. That’s because, while serving a suspension in Brasileirão games due to his red card in the Supercopa do Brasil, the Colombian was still available for the Rubro-Negro in the Libertadores.

Because of this situation, Jorge Carrascal missed the derby against Vasco last Sunday (03). In that match, in fact, the player’s suspension came to an end, and he is now cleared to play for Flamengo in the Brasileirão. Against Medellín, meanwhile, the midfielder’s presence is extremely important for the team.

WILL CARRASCAL START FOR FLAMENGO AGAINST INDEPENDIENTE MEDELLÍN IN THE LIBERTADORES?

At the moment, Flamengo have limited options in midfield, as Lucas Paquetá, Arrascaeta and Erick Pulgar are recovering from injuries. As a result, Carrascal emerges as a possible candidate to replace the No. 10 in Thursday’s match (07). De La Cruz and Luiz Araújo are also in contention for the spot.

WHEN IS THE FLAMENGO VS INDEPENDIENTE MEDELLÍN LIBERTADORES MATCH?

With Carrascal available, Flamengo face Independiente Medellín at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) this Thursday (07), in Colombia. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will bring details of the clash with on-site coverage from Mônica Alves and Simon Lédo on YouTube, as well as on the website and social media. Finally, ESPN (free-to-air channel) and Disney+ (streaming) will broadcast the match.
