Flamengo face Estudiantes (ARG) this Wednesday (29) in Argentina, in the third round of the Libertadores group stage. Leonardo Jardim will also have Jorge Carrascal back.
Carrascal missed Flamengo’s last matches due to suspension. The player was sent off against Fluminense in the Brasileirão, and was also punished by the STJD for an infraction in the match against Corinthians in the Supercopa.
However, those suspensions only have to be served in matches organized by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF). Since the clash with Estudiantes is organized by Conmebol, the Colombian is free to play.
At the moment, Flamengo have three absences for the clash with Estudiantes. They are: Erick Pulgar, Léo Pereira and Paquetá. The midfielders are under the care of the Medical Department, with no timetable for a return to the pitch. Léo Pereira, meanwhile, is recovering from a cut on his leg and will not be available to Leonardo Jardim.
Flamengo face Estudiantes (ARG) this Wednesday (29) from 9:30 pm (Brasília time) in Argentina, in the third round of the Libertadores group stage. The match will be broadcast live on free-to-air TV by Rede Globo and streamed on Paramount+.
