Flamengo face Palmeiras on Saturday in the 17th round of the Brasileirão, and Leonardo Jardim could receive a significant boost with Gonzalo Plata in contention to return.

The Ecuadorian winger missed recent matches due to a knee trauma, he was rested against Vitória, Athletico-PR and Estudiantes-ARG. According to Coluna Do Fla, he has trained with the squad at Ninho do Urubu in recent days, and his inclusion in the matchday group is likely to rest with Jardim.

The fixture is considered an early final, bringing together the league’s top two. Palmeiras lead on 35 points, with Flamengo second on 31.

A Flamengo victory would trim the gap to one point, and they also have a game in hand on the São Paulo club.
