What are Filipe Luís’ options?

After medical exams conducted this Wednesday (19), it was confirmed that Pedro suffered a muscle injury in his left thigh. As a result, the number 9 has already started treatment with the Medical Department. In addition, Filipe Luís will also be without Gonzalo Plata, who was sent off in the Libertadores semifinal.

Therefore, Filipe Luís has three main options to field as striker in the Libertadores final. They are: Bruno Henrique, Wallace Yan and Juninho. Thus, the expectation is that number 27 will be the starter in Pedro’s absence.

When is the Libertadores final?

The Libertadores final between Flamengo and Palmeiras takes place on November 29 (Saturday), at 6pm (Brasília time). Just like in 2019, the year Flamengo won its second title, the final will be held at the Estadio Monumental de Lima, in Peru.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

While Pedro begins treatment, Flamengo returns to the field this Wednesday (19). Filipe Luís’ team faces Fluminense at 9:30pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, in a match valid for the 34th round of the Brasileirão.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Flamengo vs Fluminense match.
