Flamengo is counting down to another Copa do Brasil match. This Thursday (14), the Rubro-Negro visits Vitória at Barradão for the return leg of the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil. For the match that will decide qualification, coach Leonardo Jardim is already dealing with two confirmed absences and will still determine the status of two other players.
Lucas Paquetá is a confirmed absence, as he is being treated for swelling in the tendon of his left thigh. Likewise, Arrascaeta also remains off the squad list while continuing his post-surgery recovery process on his right clavicle.
Midfielder Erick Pulgar is still uncertain for the clash, although he has already returned to on-field training after suffering a shoulder dislocation. In addition to the Chilean, Plata is also a concern for the coaching staff, as he left the pitch midway through the second half against Grêmio due to muscle pain. In this scenario, coach Leonardo Jardim is awaiting a medical reassessment to decide whether the players will be included in the matchday squad.
Flamengo returns to the pitch this Thursday (14), when they face Vitória. Thus, the ball starts rolling at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at Barradão. It is worth noting that Mengão only needs a draw to secure a place in the Copa do Brasil round of 16, since they won the first meeting 2-1.
As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will cover all the details of the match worth a spot in the round of 16 of the national knockout tournament through YouTube, as well as on the website and social media. Finally, SporTV (subscription channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the clash.
