Racing without 3, 2 doubts for Flamengo clash in Libertadores | OneFootball

What confirmed absences does Racing (ARG) have for the Libertadores semifinal?

Flamengo continues its preparations to face Botafogo this Wednesday (15), in the 28th round of the Brasileirão. Despite that, the Red-and-Black fans are already thinking about the Libertadores semifinal. Keeping an eye on the opponent, Racing (ARG) has three confirmed absences, in addition to two doubts.

Racing’s starting full-back, Gabriel Rojas, underwent tests that detected a muscle injury in his right thigh. Thus, the player is out of the first leg against Flamengo, but will try to recover for the second leg.

In addition, center-back Franco Pardo suffered a grade 3 injury to the adductor of his left thigh and will miss the semifinal against Flamengo. Lastly, forward Elias Torres tore a knee ligament and will only return to the pitch next season.

And the doubts?

It’s worth noting that the absences aren’t Racing’s only concerns. That’s because the Argentine team is also keeping an eye on the status of two players: goalkeeper Gabriel Arias, with a sprain in his right shoulder, and midfielder Alan Forneris, with a sprain in his left knee.

What about Flamengo’s status?

Flamengo, on the other hand, is trying to reach the Libertadores semifinal with 100% of the players available. The biggest concern was Erick Pulgar, who was recovering from a fracture in his right foot, but the Chilean is training with the group and will be included in the squad for the next Mengão match.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Before thinking about the Libertadores, however, Flamengo has important commitments in the Brasileirão. This Wednesday (15), Mengão faces Botafogo at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Estádio Nilton Santos, for the 28th round of the Brasileirão.

Thus, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring the best coverage on the internet via YouTube, the website and social media. However, Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Flamengo vs. Botafogo match.
