This Wednesday (20), Flamengo face Estudiantes (ARG) in the fifth round of the Libertadores group stage. For the match, Leonardo Jardim has one confirmed absence, two doubts, and two returning players.
Yes! So far, Flamengo have only one confirmed absence for the match against Estudiantes. It is Arrascaeta, who is recovering from surgery to repair a fractured collarbone. In recent days, the midfielder was cleared to join the Uruguay national team to continue his treatment and be available for the World Cup.
On the other hand, Flamengo's Medical Department will still assess the situations of Gonzalo Plata and Erick Pulgar. While the Ecuadorian missed the last few matches due to a knee injury, the Chilean was recovering from a right shoulder injury.
In short, Flamengo's reinforcements for the Libertadores are Jorginho and Evertton Araújo, who were unavailable for the team in the Brasileirão. Against Athletico-PR, the duo had to serve a suspension due to an accumulation of yellow cards. However, both are available to play against Estudiantes this Wednesday (20).
It is worth noting that the Flamengo vs Estudiantes match will be broadcast live on Rede Globo on free-to-air TV. In addition, Paramount+ will also stream the Libertadores match, which kicks off at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at the Maracanã.
