STJD upholds ban, Carrascal out of Flamengo v Vasco clash | OneFootball

Jorge Carrascal remains suspended for two matches by the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD)

Flamengo face Vasco this Sunday (03) at the Maracanã in the Brazilian Championship. The red-and-black team will be without Jorge Carrascal due to the suspension being upheld by the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD).

According to UOL, Jorge Carrascal was judged by the full STJD panel and had his two-match suspension upheld. As a result, the Colombian midfielder will not be an option for coach Leonardo Jardim in Sunday’s (03) derby.

“The challenge comes in with high intensity, using a levering motion. The absence of a clinical injury is purely by chance. The punishment fits the risk posed by the offense,” said auditor Luiz Felipe Bulus, the case rapporteur, in part of his vote.

WHAT IS THE CONTEXT OF THE SUSPENSION?

Jorge Carrascal was charged with violent conduct in the derby against Fluminense. The Flamengo player was punished in the first instance for a sliding tackle on Guga, a full-back for the rival team. As a result, the foreign player received a two-match ban.

PROBLEMS IN FLAMENGO’S ATTACKING MIDFIELD?

That means midfielder Jorge Carrascal is yet another absence for Flamengo in the creative sector. That is because Arrascaeta suffered a fractured collarbone and will be out for a long period. In addition, Lucas Paquetá is recovering from an injury and is not expected to return for the derby against Vasco.

WHEN IS FLAMENGO VS VASCO?

So, without Jorge Carrascal, Flamengo face Vasco this Sunday (03). The red-and-black side take on Vasco at 4:00 PM (Brasília time) at the Maracanã in a match valid for the 14th round of the Brazilian Championship.

As usual, Coluna do Fla brings all the information on Flamengo’s match against Vasco, with reporting by Rodrigo Lima. Finally, TV Globo on free-to-air television, GETV on YouTube, SporTV on cable, and Premiere via pay-per-view will broadcast the derby at the Maracanã.
