Ayrton Lucas trains with Flamengo, no worries for rest of the break | OneFootball

Full-back had not taken part in ball training last Thursday (09)

Flamengo played their second mid-season friendly in Portugal last Wednesday (08). At Estádio Algarve, Leonardo Jardim’s team beat Lausanne Sport (SUI) 2-0, with goals from Lorran and Wallace Yan. In the match, Ayrton Lucas came off with muscle pain.

However, this Friday (10), Coluna do Fla’s reporters, who were present at Flamengo’s training session in Portugal, found that the full-back had returned to normal training. It is worth noting that, on Thursday (09), the player did not take part in training with the ball.

Another point worth highlighting is that Ayrton Lucas feeling pain during the friendly led to a curious episode. Lorran, who had already been substituted, returned to the game after the full-back asked coach Leonardo Jardim to leave the match.

How did Flamengo’s friendly win go?

In short, Flamengo opened the scoring against Lausanne Sport six minutes into the second half. Johnny started a move down the left flank, finding a pass to Wallace Yan. After controlling the ball, the forward delivered a perfect assist for Lorran, who only had to tap it into the net to make it 1-0.

Later, in the 26th minute, it was Wallace Yan’s turn to get on the scoresheet. The player received “a gift” from a Lausanne Sport defender and doubled Flamengo’s lead: 2-0. After that, with the game more under control, Leonardo Jardim made a series of changes to the team to give players minutes and assess the performances of the youth academy prospects.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Flamengo now return to the pitch to face Benfica (POR) this Saturday (11), in the third and final friendly of their mid-season spell in Portugal. Kickoff is at 3 p.m. (Brasília time), also at Estádio Algarve.

As usual, Coluna do Fla is following every detail of Flamengo’s mid-season period and friendlies in Portugal, with on-site coverage from Rock Hudson and Simon Lédo. Finally, Band (free-to-air TV), GE TV (YouTube) and SporTV (pay TV) will broadcast the match.

Is Ayrton Lucas a concern?

Since he took part in training this Friday (10), Ayrton Lucas is not a concern for Flamengo for the rest of their mid-season period in Portugal. As a result, the full-back should be available to Leonardo Jardim for the friendly against Benfica on Saturday (11).

When will Flamengo officially return to action?

Finally, Flamengo will not return to official action until July 22. On that occasion, the Rubro-Negro side will face Chapecoense in a match valid for the 19th round of the Brazilian Championship. In addition, the clash will be played away from home at Arena Condá.
