Which player will not be available to Leonardo Jardim in Flamengo training?

The FIFA international break has begun, and Leonardo Jardim will have about seven days of training before Flamengo’s next match. However, the coach will have an important absentee in the activities at CT Ninho do Urubu.

Alex Sandro, however, is expected to return to Flamengo for the team’s Libertadores debut. The left back’s injury is considered grade 1, meaning mild. Therefore, the player could be available for the match against Cusco (PER) on April 8.

Will Flamengo have more absences during the FIFA international break?

Yes! Besides Alex Sandro, seven other players will not be available to Leonardo Jardim in training. This is because Brazil called up Léo Pereira and Danilo, while Uruguay called up Arrascaeta, De La Cruz, and Varela.

Finally, Colombia called up Carrascal for the friendlies preparing for the World Cup, while Ecuador called up Plata. In other words, a total of seven more players will not be available to Leonardo Jardim.
