Flamengo injury-free: full squad trains before Cruzeiro clash | OneFootball

Erick Pulgar is the last Flamengo player to leave the club’s Medical Department

After a long period, the Medical Department of Flamengo is now ‘empty’. That’s because all the athletes trained normally on the afternoon of this Wednesday (01). However, some will not be included in the squad to face Cruzeiro this Thursday (02).

The last Flamengo player to leave the Medical Department was Erick Pulgar. The Chilean suffered a fracture in his right foot, underwent surgery, and is currently making a gradual return. However, the midfielder is expected to come back only after the FIFA break, which will be between the 10th and 14th of this month.

Was there anyone else in the Medical Department?

Forward Michael had missed Flamengo’s recent matches due to ankle pain, but trained normally this Wednesday. On the other hand, Léo Pereira and Matías Viña left halfway through the match against Corinthians last Sunday (28).

The center-back had pain in his right foot and the left-back left the field due to stomach discomfort. However, both also trained and, therefore, are not a concern for the match against Cruzeiro at Maracanã.

What time is Flamengo vs Cruzeiro?

With the Medical Department cleared, Flamengo plays this Thursday (02), when they face Cruzeiro in the 26th round of the Brasileirão. The teams face off starting at 8:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Maracanã.

If Mengão is on the field, then Coluna do Fla will provide full coverage of the match. In addition, the clash will be broadcast on SporTV (subscription channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view).
