Flamengo: Filipe Luís unsure if Pedro will start in the Libertadores final

Even with Flamengo in the fight for the Brasileirão title, coach Filipe Luís had to answer this Saturday – after the rout over Sport – about the Libertadores final at the end of the month. One of the questions was about the presence of striker Pedro in the decisive match.

Pedro suffered a fracture in his forearm and has been absent for Flamengo. Filipe Luís did not guarantee the number 9’s presence on November 29, in Lima.

“I’m not a doctor, but I’ve broken my arm, leg, every bone you can think of. It’s six weeks. It’s going to be very tight for Pedro to be ready for the week of the final, but considering the accelerated recovery he had with his knee, we all believe he can pull off this feat. Without setting any deadline or rushing, the first thing is that he’s well enough to perform,” he said.

Flamengo has taken the provisional lead in the Brazilian Championship. This Saturday, the team from Rio beat Sport at the Maracanã with a comfortable score.

Flamengo remains focused on the Brasileirão. The rubro-negros face São Paulo this Wednesday at Vila Belmiro.
