Alex Sandro picks up an injury ahead of Flamengo clash in the Brasileirão | OneFootball

What happened to Alex Sandro before the Flamengo vs Remo match in the Brasileirão?

The Medical Department of Flamengo had a problem to solve right at the beginning of this week. That’s because Alex Sandro suffered a sprain in his hand and, as a result, is now using a protective device in the area.

After a day off on Monday (16), Alex Sandro and his teammates trained on the morning of this Tuesday (17) at the Ninho do Urubu training center. According to journalist Gabriel Orphão, the full-back is not a concern for the rest of the season, even with a sprain in one of the fingers on his right hand. In other words, the player will not be absent against Remo, on Thursday (19), at Maracanã.

It’s important to note that besides Alex Sandro, Flamengo also has another player in the squad who recently had a hand injury: Lucas Paquetá. The midfielder suffered a fracture in the fourth metacarpal of his right hand against Cruzeiro. Even in this situation, the player was available to Leonardo Jardim in the match against Botafogo, for the Brasileirão.
