Leonardo Jardim received good news this Monday (16th) regarding training sessions at Flamengo during the FIFA International Break. That’s because Pulgar was not called up to the Chilean National Team and will be available to the Portuguese coach in Rio.
The FIFA International Break often does not benefit Flamengo. That’s because, even though the championships are paused, the Red and Black lose a large part of their players to the national teams and are left without a full squad for training.
However, due to their absence from the World Cup, the Chilean National Team decided to leave Erick Pulgar off the call-up list. Therefore, the player will be able to focus on Leonardo Jardim’s training sessions at Flamengo.
Currently, Léo Pereira, Danilo, and Alex Sandro have been called up. However, there is still a possibility that Arrascaeta, Varela, De La Cruz, and Carrascal may still be called up by their respective national teams.
Before reporting to their national teams, the players will be available for Flamengo’s upcoming matches. This Thursday (19th), the Red and Black will face Remo at Maracanã, starting at 8pm (Brasília time), for the seventh round of the Brazilian Championship.
