Palmeiras reveal extent of Carrascal's damage to Murilo in Flamengo match | OneFootball

Flamengo lost 3-0 to Palmeiras at the Maracanã, with Jorge Carrascal sent off

Palmeiras revealed on Sunday (24) the facial injury Murilo suffered from Jorge Carrascal. On that occasion, the midfielder was shown a red card in the 20th minute of the match at the Maracanã, in the 17th round of the Brasileirão.

The images posted on the São Paulo club’s social media show redness and blood on the defender’s face and shoulder. The Palmeiras player treated the injury with ice in those areas while still in the dressing room after the match.

What is the context of Carrascal’s aggression against Murilo?

Flamengo were having a good first 20 minutes against Palmeiras until Carrascal raised his foot into the opponent’s face. The referee then showed a red card, leaving Rubro-Negro down to 10 men, which translated into a 3-0 scoreline for the team that plays at Allianz Parque.

As a result, Fla missed the chance to close in on the league leaders, who opened up a seven-point gap in the Brasileirão table. Thus, the Colombian will be unavailable for Mengo in the next match of the national competition, with the risk of a longer suspension if punished by the STJD.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

With Jorge Carrascal available, Flamengo now turn to the Libertadores. This Tuesday (26), Rubro-Negro face Cusco (PER) from 9:30 p.m. Brasília time at the Maracanã in the final round of the group stage.

Therefore, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the clash via YouTube, the website and social media. The match broadcast, however, will be carried by ESPN (pay TV) and Disney+ (streaming).
