2 players face final test before Flamengo v Estudiantes in Libertadores | OneFootball

Which Flamengo players will undergo a final test on Wednesday (20)?

By: Rodrigo Lima

Plata and Erick Pulgar remain question marks for Flamengo ahead of the match against Estudiantes (ARG) in the Libertadores. Therefore, this Wednesday’s (20) training session, which takes place hours before the match at the Maracanã, will be crucial for Leonardo Jardim to determine whether he will be able to count on the forward and the defensive midfielder for the clash with the Argentine side.

According to information obtained by Coluna do Fla, the players’ return against Estudiantes is still being handled cautiously. Because of this, it will be during the session at CT Ninho do Urubu that Leonardo Jardim will make the final call on the real condition of Plata and Erick Pulgar.

WHAT IS PLATA’S SITUATION AT FLAMENGO?

Plata has been out of Flamengo matches since the “knock” he took in the clash with Grêmio. Because of that incident, the Ecuadorian forward suffered trauma to his left knee, but without any injury to the area.

WHAT IS ERICK PULGAR’S SITUATION AT FLAMENGO?

Erick Pulgar’s situation is a bit more delicate, since the Chilean has been out for a longer period. The midfielder’s last appearance for Flamengo was on April 2, against Red Bull Bragantino, in the Brasileirão.

On that occasion, Pulgar suffered an injury to his right shoulder and, since then, has been under the care of the club’s Medical Department. After completing the entire recovery process, the player returned to training with his teammates, raising expectations for the return of the number 5.

WILL FLAMENGO HAVE PLAYERS RETURNING FOR THE MATCH AGAINST ESTUDIANTES IN THE LIBERTADORES?

While Plata and Pulgar remain doubtful, Flamengo should be able to count on Lucas Paquetá. The midfielder took a hard challenge to the leg in the clash with Athletico-PR, but is expected to be included in the squad. Meanwhile, De La Cruz returns after missing out due to the synthetic pitch at Arena da Baixada.

WHEN IS FLAMENGO VS ESTUDIANTES IN THE LIBERTADORES?

Flamengo takes the field this Wednesday (20) to face Estudiantes in the Libertadores. Kickoff is at 9:30 p.m. Brasília time, at the Maracanã. Therefore, Coluna do Fla TV will cover all the details of the match on YouTube, as well as on its website and social media.
