Plata has muscle pain, a worry for Flamengo's next matches | OneFootball

Will Plata be available for Flamengo’s upcoming matches?

Gonzalo Plata felt muscle pain during Flamengo’s match against Vasco this Sunday (03) at the Maracanã, in the Brazilian Championship. As a result, the player will have to undergo a medical reevaluation in the coming days.

The incident happened in the 48th minute of the second half. Gonzalo Plata received the ball and burst down the right wing, but then grabbed the back of his right thigh and fell to the ground.

Gonzalo Plata, however, did not leave the Maracanã pitch despite the muscle pain. That is because Flamengo had already stopped the match three times for substitutions. Therefore, the Ecuadorian had to remain on the field for the full 90 minutes.

Flamengo return to action this Thursday (07) against Independiente Medellín (COL) in the fourth round of the Libertadores. The match is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) in Colombia.
