Filipe Luís wary of key Estudiantes player for Libertadores clash | OneFootball

Flamengo has a player at risk for the match against Estudiantes (ARG)

Flamengo takes the field this Thursday (18th) against Estudiantes (ARG) at Maracanã for the first leg of the quarter-finals of the Libertadores. However, coach Filipe Luís is ‘concerned’ about the situation of a Flamengo player.

This is because Varela is at risk with a second yellow card. Therefore, if he receives a warning this Thursday (18th), he will not participate in the return leg of the quarter-finals.

It's important to highlight that Varela was not available for Flamengo in the last match against Juventude, as he was dealing with pubalgia. However, the defender trained normally and is expected to play soon.

Will Varela be a starter for Flamengo?

Filipe Luís has not yet decided if Varela will start for Flamengo against Estudiantes. It's worth noting that Emerson Royal played against Juventude in the main team and even scored a goal.

What time is Flamengo's game?

O Mais Querido will take the field this Thursday (18th) against Estudiantes for the first leg of the quarter-finals of the Libertadores at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at Maracanã. ESPN, on a closed channel, and Disney+, on streaming, will broadcast the match.
