The Flamengo squad continues its preparations focusing on the match against Juventude, for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão. In training this Thursday (11), coach Filipe Luís welcomed the return of Samuel Lino, Jorge Carrascal, and Matías Viña.
After being available for their national teams until last Tuesday (09) due to the FIFA International Break, the aforementioned trio was given Wednesday (10) off and returned to training on the morning of this Thursday (11). Thus, the players will still have two more training sessions to prepare alongside their teammates for the match on Sunday (14).
Of the players who returned this Thursday (11), only Jorge Carrascal did not take the field in Colombia's last two matches in the Qualifiers. However, Samuel Lino and Viña played for Brazil and Ecuador, respectively, during the FIFA International Break.
It is important to note that Arrascaeta and Varela were also on duty for Uruguay. However, the duo was rested for the last match of ‘La Celeste’ and, as a result, returned earlier to Flamengo. The full-back, in fact, showed signs of pubalgia and is under the supervision of the Medical Department at Mengo.
Of those who were with their national teams, Plata was the only one who has not yet reported back to Flamengo. According to a report by Coluna do Fla, the Ecuadorian forward was also given Thursday (11) off. Therefore, the player will only return to the club on Friday (12).
The next match for Flamengo this season takes place this Sunday (14) against Juventude, for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão. Kick-off is at 4pm (Brasília time), at Estádio Alfredo Jaconi, in Caxias do Sul. Thus, Coluna do Fla will cover all the details of the match through YouTube, as well as on social media and their website. Finally, Amazon Prime (streaming) will broadcast the match.
