Varela back in training, available for Flamengo v Estudiantes | OneFootball

Flamengo's fullback, Varela, has physically recovered and is available for Filipe Luís

Varela did not play for Flamengo against Juventude, on Sunday (14), in the Brazilian Championship. However, the fullback should be available for the match against Estudiantes, on Thursday (18), in the Libertadores.

It's worth mentioning that Varela was suffering from pubalgia in recent days and was unable to participate in Uruguay's second qualifying match, let alone Flamengo's match against Juventude.

However, Varela trained normally with the Flamengo squad on Tuesday (16) and Wednesday (17). Therefore, the fullback is available for coach Filipe Luís against Estudiantes.

Will Varela be Flamengo's starter?

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.

With Varela available, the Most Beloved focuses on the match against Estudiantes (ARG), at Maracanã, for the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Libertadores. The match is scheduled for Thursday (18), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), with broadcast by ESPN, on cable TV, and Disney+, on streaming.
