Will Flamengo have absences during the mid-season training camp?

Flamengo has nine confirmed absences for the mid-season training camp. That is because Léo Pereira, Alex Sandro, Lucas Paquetá, Danilo, Plata, and Carrascal remain with their national teams for the World Cup.

On the other hand, Arrascaeta, Varela, and De La Cruz are in a different situation. That is because Uruguay was eliminated from the World Cup and, as a result, the three players were given ten days off, according to reporter Mônica Alves of Coluna do Fla.

When is Flamengo’s first official match after the World Cup?

It is worth noting that Flamengo’s first official match after the World Cup is scheduled for July 22. On that occasion, Leonardo Jardim’s team will face Chapecoense at Arena Condá in a match valid for the 19th round of the Brasileirão.
