This Tuesday's (21) Training Will Determine De La Cruz's Presence in the Flamengo vs. Racing Match

Flamengo is preparing to face Racing (ARG) this Wednesday (22) in the first leg of the Libertadores semifinals. For the match at Maracanã, coach Filipe Luís might have a 'reinforcement': De La Cruz.

In summary, Filipe Luís chose not to include De La Cruz for the Flamengo vs. Palmeiras match on Sunday (19) for the Brasileirão. However, depending on Flamengo's training on Monday (20) and this Tuesday (21), the Uruguayan might be available against Racing.

Why Does De La Cruz's Presence Depend on Training?

It's important to note that Filipe Luís made it clear that he only includes De La Cruz for Flamengo games if he has trained hard with the group during the week.

Therefore, on the afternoon of this Tuesday (21), when Flamengo concludes preparations for the match against Racing, Filipe Luís will decide the future of De La Cruz.
