Flamengo miss 3 players, 3 doubts for Juventude clash in Brasileirão | OneFootball

Flamengo and Juventude face off at 4pm (Brasília time) this Sunday (14)

Flamengo is counting down to another important match of the season. This Sunday (14), the Rubro-Negro takes on Juventude in the 23rd round of the Brasileirão. For the match in Caxias do Sul, coach Filipe Luís already knows he will be without three players. In addition, three other athletes are doubtful for the match.

Already known to be out, Erick Pulgar is recovering from a fracture in the fifth metatarsal of his right foot. This Friday (12), the midfielder will undergo a CT scan to monitor his progress. Thus, the expectation is that the number 5 will only return to the pitch at the end of September.

In addition, Léo Ortiz will also not be available to Filipe Luís. That's because, in the game against Grêmio, the defender received his third yellow card and will now serve an automatic suspension.

Finally, Bruno Henrique is suspended for 12 matches after a ruling by the STJD. However, Flamengo's legal department has filed for a ‘suspensive effect’ and is awaiting a response.

WHAT ABOUT THE DOUBTS?

Flamengo still has important doubts for the match against Juventude. Alex Sandro, who suffered a muscle injury in his left calf, began working on the field with physiotherapy last Wednesday (10), but his presence is still not guaranteed.

Besides him, Jorginho and Varela are also still under observation. The midfielder is experiencing pain in the posterior muscle of his left thigh and continues treatment with the Medical Department.

On the other hand, Varela returned with a case of pubalgia and will be re-evaluated daily. As a result, Filipe Luís will have to wait the next two days to find out if he can count on these players for the next round.

WHAT ARE THE DETAILS OF THE MATCH BETWEEN FLAMENGO AND JUVENTUDE?

Flamengo returns to the pitch this Sunday (14), when they face Juventude. Thus, kickoff is at 4pm (Brasília time), at Estádio Alfredo Jaconi, in Caxias do Sul, for the 23rd round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will show the match details on YouTube, as well as on the website and social media. Finally, Amazon Prime's streaming service will broadcast the match.
