Carrascal gets grim news before Flamengo debut at Club World Cup | OneFootball

Carrascal will miss two Flamengo matches in the Brasileirão

The Full Bench of the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) confirmed the three-match suspension for Jorge Carrascal this Wednesday (10). The Colombian midfielder had already received the punishment, but there was hope at Flamengo that it would be reduced after a review, which did not happen.

The suspension was upheld because of Carrascal's repeat direct red cards this season. The latest came against Palmeiras, in Flamengo's 3-0 defeat in the 17th round of the Brasileirão, on May 23 at the Maracanã.

When it appealed to the Full Bench, Flamengo argued that the incident was accidental and “far less severe” than the red card received by Carrascal in the derby against Fluminense. On that occasion, the midfielder received a two-match suspension after scissoring an opponent from behind. However, the argument was not accepted by the STJD.

WHICH MATCHES WILL CARRASCAL MISS?

As a result, Carrascal will miss the matches against Chapecoense and São Paulo, which take place right after the end of the World Cup. It is worth remembering that the Colombian has already served one match, against Coritiba, the last one before the break for the national team World Cup.

Carrascal's red card against Palmeiras came in the 20th minute of the first half, when the teams were drawing 0-0. The Flamengo player caught defender Murilo in the shoulder and face with the studs of his boot. Referee Davi Lacerda had no doubts and showed a straight red card.

WHAT IS CARRASCAL'S CURRENT SITUATION?

In a complicated situation in the Brasileirão, Carrascal is now fully focused on the World Cup. The midfielder is with the Colombian National Team, which makes its debut next Wednesday (17) against Uzbekistan. In addition, the team will face the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Portugal in World Cup Group K.
