Flamengo handed last-minute boost for clash with Vasco in the Brasileirão | OneFootball

What reinforcement does Flamengo have for the match against Vasco?

The coach Filipe Luís received good news for the classic between Flamengo and Vasco this Sunday (21), for the 24th round of the Brasileirão. This is because, after recovering from a left calf injury, Alex Sandro is listed for the upcoming match at Maracanã.

Alex Sandro had been absent from the Flamengo team since the match against Vitória on August 25. On that occasion, the defender started as a starter but complained of calf pain and had to leave the field in the first half of the match.

Since then, Alex Sandro has been under the supervision of the Flamengo Medical Department. Last week, the number 26 reached the final stage of recovery and was cleared to train with his teammates on the field.

After responding well, Filipe Luís included the athlete for this Sunday's (21) classic. Now, it's up to the Flamengo coach to decide whether Alex Sandro will be a starter or not in the team against Vasco.

DOES FLAMENGO HAVE ABSENCES FOR THE MATCH AGAINST VASCO?

Yes! While counting on the return of Alex Sandro, coach Filipe Luís still cannot count on Jorginho, who is still in the transition process. Additionally, Pulgar is also absent as he is recovering from surgery on the fifth metatarsal of his right foot. The Chilean's return to the field is expected in October.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S NEXT MATCH?

Flamengo will take the field this Sunday (21) to face Vasco at 5:30 PM (Brasília time) at Maracanã. Thus, Coluna do Fla TV, as usual, will show the details of the classic on YouTube, as well as on social media and the website. Finally, Rede Globo (open channel), GE TV (YouTube), and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the match.
