Flamengo on alert over player for Estudiantes Libertadores clash | OneFootball

Who is the player that might cause concern for Flamengo?

Flamengo takes the field this Thursday (25) to face Estudiantes (ARG) in the return leg of the quarter-finals of the Libertadores. With the match in mind, coach Filipe Luís is on alert regarding the situation of a Mengão player: Guillermo Varela.

This is because Varela is on a warning in the Libertadores, having received two yellow cards in the matches against Internacional in the round of 16 of the continental tournament. Therefore, if he receives a penalty this Thursday (25), the defender will have to serve a suspension in a possible semifinal.

Will Varela be a starter in the Flamengo vs. Estudiantes match?

Like some players in the squad, Varela was rested by Filipe Luís in the draw between Flamengo and Vasco last Sunday (21). Thus, the Uruguayan is expected to be among the starters against Estudiantes, as Emerson Royal played in the Carioca classic.

Who will Flamengo face in the semifinal?

It is worth noting that Flamengo already knows the opponent they might face in the semifinal of the Libertadores: Racing (ARG). The team from Avellaneda eliminated Vélez Sarsfield (ARG) by 2-0 on aggregate and now awaits the outcome of the match between Mengão and Estudiantes.

How was the first leg between Flamengo and Estudiantes?

Flamengo defeated Estudiantes in the first leg by 2-1 last Thursday (18), with goals from Pedro and Varela. Thus, the Most Beloved can even draw and still secure a spot in the semifinal of the Libertadores.

When do Flamengo and Estudiantes face each other?

The match between Flamengo and Estudiantes takes place this Thursday (25), for the return leg of the quarter-finals of the Libertadores. Thus, the spot in the semifinals will be decided from 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at the Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will provide the best coverage on the internet, through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, ESPN (closed channel) and Disney+ (streaming) will broadcast the Flamengo vs. Estudiantes game.
