Which Flamengo player is back for the match against Estudiantes (ARG)?


Flamengo face Estudiantes (ARG) this Wednesday (29) in the third round of the Libertadores group stage. Kickoff is at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) in Argentina. For the match, coach Leonardo Jardim will have the return of an important player. It is De La Cruz.

Midfielder De La Cruz is back in Flamengo's squad list after missing the match against Atlético-MG. On that occasion, Mengão’s No. 18 was unavailable for the Brasileirão clash because of the physical difficulties he has on artificial turf, the type of surface used at Arena MRV.

Given that situation, De La Cruz ended up getting a ‘break’ and also had extra time to recover from a heavy run of matches. Now, the Uruguayan becomes an option for Flamengo’s midfield against Estudiantes.

WILL DE LA CRUZ START IN FLAMENGO VS ESTUDIANTES?

For this Wednesday’s match (29), coach Leonardo Jardim still will not be able to count on Erick Pulgar and Lucas Paquetá. That means De La Cruz is competing for a spot in the rubro-negro midfield alongside Evertton Araújo and Jorginho. It is worth noting that the aforementioned duo started in Mengão’s 4-0 thrashing of Atlético-MG last Sunday (26).

WHEN IS FLAMENGO VS ESTUDIANTES IN THE LIBERTADORES?

In short, the match between Flamengo and Estudiantes takes place at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) this Wednesday (29) at Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium in La Plata. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will bring details of the match with on-site coverage from Rock Hudson and Simon Lédo on YouTube, as well as on the website and social media. Finally, Globo (free-to-air), GETV (YouTube) and Paramount (streaming) will broadcast the match.
