Flamengo squad given ‘partial’ break during FIFA international window | OneFootball

Some Flamengo players return this Wednesday (08) and others on Thursday (09)

On Sunday night (05), Flamengo lost to Bahia, 1-0, in a match valid for the 27th round of the Brasileirão. After the match in Salvador, Filipe Luís gave the squad a break on Monday (06) and Tuesday (07). However, this Wednesday (08), some players return to training.

According to a report by Coluna do Fla, the Flamengo squad received a partial break this Wednesday (08). While some players are already reporting back at Ninho do Urubu, others still have the day off and will only return to training on Thursday (09).

It is worth noting that the idea of Filipe Luís' coaching staff and the Medical Department of Flamengo is to take advantage of the FIFA break to recover some players for the remainder of the season. This is because, internally, Fla sees a high level of wear and tear among the athletes.

How did the defeat to Bahia happen?

Against Bahia, Flamengo had yet another disappointing performance, in addition to having two players sent off during the match. Unable to impose their own rhythm on the game, Fla saw the Bahia team open the scoring at the end of the first half, with a goal by Willian José.

What is Flamengo's position in the standings?

With the defeat to Bahia, Flamengo also lost the lead in the Brasileirão. Currently, the Most Beloved has the same 55 points as Palmeiras, but occupies second place due to the greater number of victories by the São Paulo team.

When is Fla's next match?

Now, Flamengo will only return to the field on October 15th, when they face Botafogo in the 28th round of the Brasileirão. This is because, until then, the national calendar will be on hold due to the FIFA break.

Finally, when Brazilian football resumes, Flamengo has the classic against Botafogo at Engenhão, starting at 7:30 pm (Brasília time). In short, the match will be broadcast live on Premiere, via pay-per-view.
