Flamengo have 2 confirmed absentees for Estudiantes in Libertadores | OneFootball

Estudiantes (ARG) vs Flamengo takes place at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) this Wednesday (29)

Flamengo is counting down to another Libertadores match. This Wednesday (29), the Rubro-Negro visits Estudiantes (ARG) at Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium, in La Plata, for the third round of the group stage. For the away match, coach Leonardo Jardim is dealing with two confirmed absences.

While Paquetá recovers from edema in his left thigh, Pulgar is being treated for a shoulder injury. According to reporting by Coluna do Fla, for now both are doing individual work, meaning they are still out of training with the squad.

ARE THE PLAYERS EXPECTED TO RETURN TO THE PITCH?

The initial plan was for Paquetá to return this week; however, the heavy physical wear combined with the injury changed the schedule. As a result, Flamengo's medical department is being cautious to avoid a premature return and protect the player, preventing his condition from worsening.

On the other hand, Pulgar still has a chance of returning for the clash against Independiente Medellín on May 7 in the Libertadores. It is worth noting, however, that the number 5 will miss the match against Vasco in the Brasileirão due to automatic suspension.

WHAT ARE THE DETAILS OF THE MATCH BETWEEN FLAMENGO AND ESTUDIANTES?

Flamengo returns to the pitch this Wednesday (29), when it faces Estudiantes. The ball starts rolling at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium, also known as ‘UNO’. It is worth remembering that Mengão needs a positive result in order to remain at the top of Group A in the Libertadores.

As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will show the details of the match valid for the third round of the continental competition's group stage through YouTube, as well as on the website and social media. Finally, Rede Globo on free-to-air TV, as well as Paramount+ (streaming), will broadcast the match.
