Paquetá, Arrascaeta and more: Flamengo injury update before Vasco

Flamengo will have a boost for the match against Vasco in the Brasileirão

Flamengo return to action on Sunday (03) to face Vasco in the 14th round of the Brasileirão. This Friday (01), before Léo Pereira's press conference, Flamengo doctor Luiz Macedo gave an update on the situation of some Mengão players.

See the medical status of the players:

Léo Pereira: suffered a deep cut on his left shin, received four stitches, and will be available for the Flamengo vs. Vasco derby. Erick Pulgar: suffered a shoulder dislocation four weeks ago, is improving, but still feels pain. The expectation is that he will return next week. Lucas Paquetá: had an injury to the biceps femoris tendon. His recovery is considered positive, and the player has already started strengthening work in the gym. Bruno Henrique: suffered trauma during the match against Estudiantes, was evaluated, and has already been cleared. Emerson Royal: suffered a fracture to the nasal bone, but has a chance to play in the derby against Vasco. The club is preparing a protective mask. Since he had the mold made today, he did not take part in training. Arrascaeta: is expected to return between 8 and 12 weeks after surgery. The procedure was carried out to speed up recovery, bringing more stability and reducing pain.

Is Arrascaeta the main concern?

It is worth noting that Arrascaeta is currently the player receiving the most attention from Flamengo. In the match against Estudiantes (ARG), the Uruguayan fell onto the pitch on his shoulder and, as a result, fractured his right collarbone.

Therefore, Arrascaeta underwent collarbone surgery this Thursday (30), in Rio de Janeiro. The procedure was successful and, this Friday (01), Flamengo's number 10 was discharged from the hospital.

Does Flamengo have a boost for the match against Vasco?

Léo Pereira missed Flamengo's 1-1 draw with Estudiantes this Wednesday (29) in the Libertadores. That is because the center-back suffered a cut on his left shin in the 4-0 win over Atlético-MG. Even so, the defender will be available for the derby against Vasco this Sunday (03).

What is Flamengo's next match?

Meanwhile, Flamengo remain focused on their next commitment of the season. This Sunday (03), the Rubro-Negro face Vasco at 4:00 pm (Brasília time) at the Maracanã in the 14th round of the national championship.

So, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Flamengo and Vasco through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (free-to-air), GE TV (YouTube) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Rio derby.
