Will De La Cruz play? Uruguayan status for Flamengo v Athletico-PR on turf | OneFootball

The ball gets rolling for Athletico-PR x Flamengo this Sunday (17), at Arena da Baixada

Flamengo visit Athletico-PR this Sunday (17), at Arena da Baixada, in a match valid for the 16th round of the Brazilian Championship. For the clash in Curitiba, the coaching staff are racing against time to finalize the squad list and are monitoring the situation of De La Cruz. The Uruguayan midfielder has not yet been confirmed due to the particularities of the match venue.

According to reporting by Coluna do Fla, initially, the No. 18 has no medical restriction preventing him from playing on the synthetic turf at Arena da Baixada. However, the player has greater sensitivity on this type of artificial surface.

Because of this, De La Cruz will speak with head coach Leonardo Jardim to decide whether he will travel. The midfielder will assess the risks together with the coaching staff. That way, the coach will make the final call after Saturday afternoon’s training session (16). Right after the workout, the Flamengo delegation will head to Curitiba.
