Alex Sandro back? Flamengo sweat on full-back for Fluminense | OneFootball

Alex Sandro has been out for 19 days and is hoping to play in Flamengo’s match against Fluminense

Flamengo return to action this Sunday (12) when they face Fluminense at the Maracanã. For the derby, valid for the 11th round of the Brasileirão, the Rubro-Negro coaching staff are hopeful of having Alex Sandro available.

Out of action since March 22, in the draw with Corinthians at Neo Química Arena, the left back is recovering from an injury to the back of his right thigh. However, Alex Sandro will still be reassessed to determine whether he will be fit to take the field against Fluminense.

DOES FLAMENGO HAVE CONFIRMED ABSENCES?

In total, Flamengo already have three confirmed absences. Saúl, who is recovering from heel surgery, Pulgar, with an injury to the acromioclavicular joint in his right shoulder, and Jorginho, who is being treated for a muscle injury in his left calf, are out of the derby.

Besides Alex Sandro, Flamengo also cannot guarantee De La Cruz’s presence in Fla-Flu. The midfielder is dealing with a chronic knee issue and started in the match against Cusco (PER) at altitude. Now, the coaching staff are evaluating the player and will decide whether he is fit to face Fluminense in the next match.

WHAT ARE THE DETAILS OF FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH?

With confirmed absences and doubts over the squad list, Flamengo visit Fluminense this Sunday (12) at the Maracanã. The match, valid for the 11th round of the Brasileirão, will have full coverage from Coluna do Fla on YouTube, social media, and the website.
