Libertadores boost: Jardim gets 2 big options for Flamengo v Estudiantes | OneFootball

Flamengo and Estudiantes (ARG) face off in the fifth round of the Libertadores group stage

Flamengo takes the field this Wednesday (20) against Estudiantes (ARG) at the Maracanã in the fifth round of the Libertadores group stage. For the match, coach Leonardo Jardim has received two major boosts: midfielders Jorginho and Evertton Araújo.

The two defensive midfielders were unavailable for Flamengo against Athletico-PR in the Brasileirão because they were serving automatic suspensions after accumulating yellow cards. However, both are available for the Libertadores and have become key options for the coach to adjust the midfield.

WILL PULGAR RETURN?

Out of action since April 5, Erick Pulgar is hoping to return against Estudiantes. Recovered from the right shoulder injury he suffered against Red Bull Bragantino, the defensive midfielder is already training with the squad and is awaiting medical clearance to be included in the matchday squad.
