Flamengo squad back in training, eyes set on Atlético-MG clash | OneFootball

After training, Flamengo will present Saúl Ñíguez to the press and fans

Flamengo broke their nearly 30-year drought without winning away from home against Red Bull Bragantino. Last Wednesday (23), the team overcame the Paulista team 2-1, coming from behind, in Bragança Paulista. After securing the three points in the 16th round of the Brazilian Championship, the red and black squad received a day off on Thursday (24). However, on Friday (25), the team returns to the Urubu's Nest.

Thus, at the CT, Filipe Luís leads the first activity of Flamengo with a focus on the next Brazilian Championship game against Atlético-MG. It is worth noting that the red and black team's training is scheduled to start at 10 am (Brasília time) on Friday (25).

Will there be a press conference?

Yes! Right after Friday's (25) training, Flamengo will officially present Saúl Ñíguez as the newest red and black reinforcement. Therefore, the Spanish player will give a press conference and have his first contact with the Brazilian journalists who cover the club.

What are Filipe Luís' absences and doubts?

In summary, in the game against Red Bull Bragantino, Filipe Luís had eight absences. They were: Pulgar (right foot), Alex Sandro (left thigh), Ayrton Lucas (left ankle), Michael (left ankle), Plata (right thigh), Danilo (right thigh), and De la Cruz and Allan (load control).

Now, De La Cruz and Allan are the players with the most chances of returning to Flamengo. This is because the duo did not stay out due to injury, specifically, but rather as a precaution by the Medical Department. Both players have recurring pain in the knee and foot (plantar fasciitis), respectively.

When will Flamengo's next game be?

At the moment, Flamengo is turning the key to focus on the next commitment of the season. On Sunday (27), the team faces Atlético-MG, in the 17th round of the Brazilian Championship. The teams face off at 8:30 pm (Brasília time), at the Maracanã.

How did Flamengo's situation in the table turn out?

With the victory over Red Bull Bragantino, Flamengo reached 33 points in the Brazilian Championship and remains in the wake of Cruzeiro, the tournament leader with 34. Remembering that the Minas Gerais team drew 0-0 with Corinthians and, on top of that, has one more game than the Red and Black team.
