Flamengo and Estudiantes (ARG) face off at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) this Thursday (25th)

Countdown to the most important game of the Mengão in the season so far! This Thursday (25th), Flamengo takes on Estudiantes (ARG) in the return leg of the Libertadores quarterfinals. For the match in Argentina, coach Filipe Luís will be without two players and has one uncertainty.

A known absence, Erick Pulgar is in the final stage of recovery after a fracture in the fifth metatarsal of his right foot. Currently, the Chilean midfielder is working on the field with the support of physiotherapy.

Additionally, Filipe Luís will have an absence in the attack. This is because Michael experienced pain in his left ankle and stayed in Rio de Janeiro to begin treatment.

AND THE UNCERTAINTY?

One of the midfield ‘key players’ for Flamengo, Jorginho has been out for the last four games due to thigh pain. However, the midfielder has recovered and is hopeful to be on the field for Flamengo's main challenge of the year so far.

WHAT TIME DOES THE BALL ROLL FOR FLAMENGO AND ESTUDIANTES?

Flamengo and Estudiantes face off this Thursday (25th), starting at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), vying for a spot in the Libertadores semifinals. The Rubro-Negro won the first leg 2-1, meaning they play for a draw.
