Carrascal hit with fresh STJD ban, out for more Flamengo games | OneFootball

What happened to Carrascal, Flamengo’s midfielder?

The Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) handed Carrascal a two-match suspension for being sent off in the derby between Flamengo and Fluminense. As a result, added to the punishment for the red card he received against Corinthians in the Supercopa do Brasil, the player will be unavailable for Rubro-Negro for four matches.

Because of the red card in Fla-Flu, Carrascal will already serve the first match as an automatic suspension. However, if Flamengo cannot overturn the situation, the Colombian will still have one more suspension due to the sending-off in the derby.

It is worth noting that, besides the match against Bahia, Flamengo will also be without Carrascal against Vitória (Copa do Brasil) and Atlético-MG (Brasileirão) because of the penalty for the infraction in the Supercopa do Brasil. Finally, if the ruling stands, the player will also miss the match against Vasco, also in the national league.

HOW DID CARRASCAL GET SENT OFF IN FLAMENGO VS. FLUMINENSE?

Carrascal had a brief appearance in Flamengo’s 2-1 win over Fluminense last Sunday (12). That is because, just minutes after coming onto the field, the Colombian made a ‘scissor tackle’ on Guga and was sent off.

DID CARRASCAL PLAY IN FLAMENGO VS. INDEPENDIENTE MEDELLÍN IN THE LIBERTADORES?

Yes! It is important to point out that the punishment only applies to matches organized by the CBF. Because of that, Carrascal started in Flamengo’s 4-1 win over Independiente Medellín (COL) at the Maracanã.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH?

Without Carrascal available, Flamengo face Bahia this Sunday (19) in the 12th round of the Brasileirão. Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will cover the details of the clash on YouTube, as well as on the website and social media.
