Hit by absentees, Flamengo prepare for Coritiba clash in Brasileirão | OneFootball

Flamengo players are scheduled to train on the morning of this Thursday (28)

Flamengo beat Cusco (PER) 3-0 on Tuesday (26) in a match valid for the sixth and final round of the Libertadores group stage. After the match, on Wednesday (27), the Rubro-Negro squad was given the day off. However, this Thursday (28), the squad returns to Ninho do Urubu.

In short, according to reporting by Coluna do Fla, the Flamengo squad returns on the morning of this Thursday (28). The team’s focus, of course, is Mais Querido’s final Brasileirão match before the break for the World Cup.

Thus, at Ninho do Urubu, the Flamengo squad is scheduled to begin training at 10 a.m. (Brasília time). At the training center, Leonardo Jardim is already leading the Rubro-Negro session with many absences due to call-ups for the World Cup.

It is worth remembering that, for the match against Coritiba, Flamengo will have a number of absences, and nine of them are due to players being called up for the World Cup. In addition to those selected, Jorginho fractured a toe against Palmeiras and will also miss this Saturday’s (30) match.

Because of the long list of absences, Flamengo even asked the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) to postpone the match against Coritiba. However, the entity did not grant Mais Querido’s request and kept the match scheduled for Saturday (30).

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Meanwhile, Flamengo returns to the field this Saturday (30) to face Coritiba at the Maracanã. The match kicks off at 4 p.m. (Brasília time) and is valid for the 18th round of the Brasileirão. Finally, the match will be broadcast live on SporTV, on subscription TV, as well as on Premiere, via pay-per-view.
