Flamengo's squad went on vacation on May 31, right after the 3-0 win over Coritiba on Saturday (30). After the victory in the 18th round of the Brasileirão, the Rubro-Negro began a break in the schedule due to the World Cup.
Since arriving at Flamengo, Leonardo Jardim has led the team in 22 matches, of which the Mengão won 14. In addition, the Rubro-Negro coach started the World Cup break with five draws and three defeats, totaling a 71.2% success rate in charge of Fla.
Finally, under the command of Leonardo Jardim, Flamengo scored 40 goals during this period and conceded 17. It is worth noting that the Rubro-Negro squad is scheduled to report back on June 19 at Ninho do Urubu.
Now, just like the Flamengo squad, Leonardo Jardim is on vacation until June 19. It is worth noting that the Rubro-Negro delegation travels to Portugal on the 28th of the same month. On Portuguese soil, the Mengão will face Falkirk (SCO), Birmingham (ENG), and Benfica (POR) in friendly matches so the players do not lose their rhythm.
On the trip, Flamengo will be without several players, that is, without those called up to international duty. Danilo, Alex Sandro, Lucas Paquetá, and Léo Pereira are with the Brazil national team. In addition, Arrascaeta, De La Cruz, and Varela are available for Uruguay, while Carrascal is with Colombia and Gonzalo Plata with Ecuador.
Of these, only Arrascaeta is at risk of missing the World Cup. That is because the player suffered a grade-two calf injury. Now, coach Marcelo Bielsa will decide whether to cut the midfielder or wait and closely monitor the recovery of the number 10.
