Leonardo Jardim boosted by two midfield options for Flamengo v Estudiantes in Libertadores | OneFootball

Flamengo face Estudiantes at the Maracanã in the Copa Libertadores group stage on Wednesday, with Leonardo Jardim boosted by two midfield options. Jorginho and Evertton Araújo return to contention.

According to Coluna Do Fla, the pair missed the Athletico-PR league match after serving suspensions for yellow-card accumulation. Both are available for continental duty and give the head coach added flexibility in midfield.

Erick Pulgar, sidelined since early April, is hopeful of featuring. The midfielder has recovered from a right-shoulder injury sustained against Red Bull Bragantino and is back training with the squad, but he still requires medical clearance to be selected.

Kick-off is at 21:30 Brasília time. The match is part of the competition's fifth group-stage round.

Flamengo are targeting a result that would strengthen their grip on top spot in Group A and secure early passage to the last 16.
