Pedro did not play in Flamengo's match against Botafogo on Sunday (15) due to muscle pain. Despite this, the red-black striker will be available to coach Filipe Luís for the match against Lanús (ARG) on Thursday (19) for the South American Recopa.
According to journalist Venê Casagrande, Pedro felt discomfort in his groin during warm-up in Flamengo's match against Botafogo. However, on Monday (16), the striker underwent tests and no injury was found.
Additionally, it's important to highlight that Pedro reported feeling better to Flamengo this Monday (16) during training at Ninho do Urubu. Therefore, the striker is expected to travel normally with the team to Argentina on Tuesday (17).
The last training session for Flamengo before the clash against Lanús is scheduled for this Wednesday (18) in Argentina. Thus, Filipe Luís will have two more sessions before finalizing the lineup for the match against the Argentine team.
The match between Flamengo and Lanús is scheduled for 9:30 PM (Brasília time) this Thursday (19) in Argentina. Therefore, ESPN on cable and Disney+ on streaming will broadcast the match. Additionally, Coluna do Fla will be on-site to provide all the information about the Red-Black.
