Erick Pulgar and Lucas Paquetá took another step toward returning to Flamengo matches. That’s because, this Tuesday (12), both players trained with the red-and-black squad at CT Ninho do Urubu.
Lucas Paquetá recovered from a thigh injury, while Pulgar was dealing with shoulder pain. Both players missed Flamengo’s last matches, but the expectation is that they will return against Athletico-PR on Sunday (17).
Before the match against Athletico-PR, Flamengo will face Vitória this Thursday (14) in the second leg of the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil. The match is scheduled for 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at Barradão.
The Rubro-Negro can earn R$ 3 million by qualifying for the Round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. Therefore, this Thursday’s match (14) is also crucial for the Most Beloved financially.
The match against Vitória, which is worth a spot in the next phase of the Copa do Brasil, will be broadcast on Premiere via pay-per-view. However, Coluna do Fla will be there to follow every detail of Flamengo live from Barradão.
